Meet...in the maze. Freya's heart skipped a beat, then two. Entering the maze together would be foolish, but something she could reasonably explain to Daniel if rumors spread. A clandestine meeting in the hedges... there was no explaining that.
It was as though she was tethering on the edge of a cliff. Behind her lay the safety of her everyday life, the normal marriage with no scent of a scandal. Beyond the edge was the great mystery, the dangerous unknown that might be her undoing. But, what if it wasn't? What if Mr. Pettigrew was right and most marriages never ended up happy? What if she said no to Mr. Echelon-Arnost now and never again had the opportunity to explore whatever was beyond the hedges?
What if he just simply only wanted a walk through the hedges?
"That would be for the best." She answered softly. "I'll follow after you... take the first two lefts." It'd give her one last opportunity to choose safety. Or, at the very least, the ability to finish her drink.
Amazing Set by Stef!
