I'm speechless as | stare at the dark space where she was just a minute ago. Then I blink, wondering if maybe | dreamt it all-ithappened so fast
But when I look down into my hand, the note is still there.
Shit. Shit. What the hell was | going to do with this?
It's a little bomb, really- | know that. If Kent finds me with thisnote, | am done for, relationship with Daniel or no.
But to whom, really, do | owe my allegiance? Should | give thisnote to Alden, my father, who | know loves me?
Should | give it to Kent, out of allegiance to Daniel? Or to Kenthimself, out of allegiance to him? After all, he protected me last
night — kept me
But what, really, happened last night? Was it just coincidencethat my father and his family weren’t in the room when the attackhappened?
Kent said it was a kidnapping attempt, maybe for me, but was it? Was | ever really in danger? Did my father perhaps arrange itas a way to get me away from Kent, to get him out from his clutches?

| groan, leaning back against the pillows, feeling far too inadequate to answer these kinds of questions. The fact was, | hadabsolutely no idea what was really happening, and here was this stupid note, this test of my loyalty.
Everything depended on my actions next — who | gave it to, whether or not | flushed it down the toilet like Fiona said. But even if |did that, and my dad or Kent ever found out that | had this piece of evidence and didn’t give it to them-
God damnit, I’m screwed either way.
Swiftly, | peel open the note, hoping that its contents give me any hint about what | should do next. But it’s just two lines of crypticpoetry.
The little wren sleeps, warm in its nest,
The mink at its door doth it detest.
