Cassandra read the note from Katherine with trepidation. She'd been worried about her friend and trying to think of a way to get her to run with her family that wouldn't get Cassandra herself caught in the backlash. It was safer for them all if Katherine would just run.
And the hasty scrawl at the bottom of the note only confirmed that Katherine couldn't be thinking properly yet. Either because she was too traumatised or because she hadn't yet had reason to learn how to be more discrete than she'd ever had to be in her life.
Dear Katherine,
It's lovely to hear from you. I hope you had a wonderful time on your honeymoon tour. You must tell me all about it when we see each other next. I am available for dinner any night this week after tomorrow, at your husband's discretion, of course.
