Bab 87: You Should Fear

*Susannah's POV*

"Her name is June,"she said,blinking as she waited for the memory to kick in.

I blinked back blankly to signal that it didn't. "I do not know her."

"Lady June Kimlin,"she added.

"I still don't know her, dear." I replied. "What a shame,so many compliments. And I don't even know the lady."

"Perhaps she only observed you from afar."

I chuckled. "Perhaps."

"Anne is a darling, isn't she?"

My mirth faded out as I focused on her.

"Why are you here?"
