Capítulo 139: Chapter 139: Fatale, Part 19

James

Adam is safely born. Beth is asleep. Richard too...

Nervous exhaustion?

Lol!

It's quiet. And it's dark.

And it's the first real chance I've had to sit quietly. To think...

... To consider what Charlotte said.

But... but... you sent me an email, with the link to the site and that photo. I went right through it. They had some lovely things. But I knew you liked that corset so I bought it.

I turn the words over in my head.

Not like her to fall for something like that... Way too canny...

Too suspicious...

So it must have been good.

...

?

It seemed to come from me...

So, someone had my email address...

And baited the message with something so perfect Charlotte had no reason to doubt it...

And they... they...

... they what?

They sold her a corset...

?

?

Weird or what...

Yes... What?

How could they know her that well? To target her so well?

"Charlotte, do you still have that email? The one you said I sent you. Or have you wiped it?"
