Bab 224: A Watery Situation

Atticus and Jonah bumped into Daphne as she emerged from the rooms, her hair hastily pinned into a bun with one hairpin slid inside it. She was in the midst of changing her gown and hairstyle for the ball when Sirona interrupted her with the news. Maisie had no choice but to give her the simplest hairstyle before her queen all but dashed back out, gown change all but forgotten. 

"What do you think happened?" Atticus asked grimly.

"Could be something, could be nothing," Daphne said hopefully, even though deep down, she knew otherwise. 

When the word 'water' was mentioned, Daphne had a feeling Cordelia was involved. Her heart sank to her shoes. She knew Cordelia would never do something mean-spirited or vile and ruin her wedding day, not when she had spared so much effort to make it in the first place, which meant that someone had pushed her buttons so expertly that she felt that she had no choice but to lash out!
