She allowed Edmund to lead her away because he'd requested it instead of ordering her. They'd shared his rental to get to the graveyard, and the female half of the pair slumped in the passenger seat as he started the engine. She wanted a drink, a brandy to make her warm. And then several gimlets.
If she ever came back here, Allison would be under the earth. If there was really a God, she was in His care. Julianna reached blindly for one of Edmund's hands.
"Can we..." She could barely say it, even to him, and she'd known him for a very long time. "Do we have to return to London immediately? The inquiry isn't for another fortnight. I'd like...I'd like to be alone with you."
