A glint of gold where no gold should be caught her eye. She brushed aside a patch of feathery ferns to find a gold watch with the monogram “W.”
“Proof,” Emily said aloud.
“Proof of what?”
She whirled around, shoving the watch into her skirt pocket. Henry leaned against a tree not five paces away. How had he come up behind her so silently? His face was in shadow, and she couldn’t see his eyes. He seemed an altogether different person than the charming suitor who had helped her with the baking.
“Nothing,” she said. “Did you follow me here?”
He hesitated, his lips pressed tightly together. Finally he said, “We saw you walk by Uncle’s house. I wondered if you were still meddling in our family’s affairs.”
She took a step backward. “And if I am?”
“Everyone is satisfied with my cousin’s death . . . except you.”
