felt a flitter of memory, almost as though someone were pulling aside a dark curtain and letting in a beam of light. Rushton . She mulled over the name. It was definitely familiar, and that castle she’d seen … she’d been there before, but how? More questions for Adele. She could hardly wait until the next day to ask her! Her thoughts went back to Rush … Rushton … Rush. Whatever the heck his name was! As frightening as that dark vision was, it had let her know one thing for sure—her future was intertwined with Rush in some deep, inexplicable way that had started long before the present. She frowned. Had she really just thought that? She paused, sorting through her feelings. Maybe it was time to stop running from the inevitable and face it full on. She and Rush were meant to be together. She cringed. And then a calm settled over her, reminding her how she’d felt, floating in the field of daisies. An image flashed through her mind, and she saw Rushton, kneeling before her and holding out a daisy. They were dressed in strange clothes. He looked up and smiled at her, and she thought her heart would burst from sheer happiness. Life was simple … happy … and he was her everything. Her everything? Really? Where were these thoughts coming from? She shook her head ruefully. Now she knew she was imagining things because the Rush she knew was intensely complex—demanding her undying loyalty and love. And when she couldn’t give him want he wanted, what did he do? He turned his back on her in a New York second and started dating Lynessa! Her face twisted into a scowl as a hot jealousy stabbed through her. In that moment, she hated him. She hated him because he was rejecting her, and she couldn’t get him out of her head!
    “Elle.”
    Edward’s voice jerked her back to the present. He gave her a quizzical look. “You had a really irritated look on your face.” His voice became grave. “Were you thinking about what you saw?”
    “No,” she said quickly, “I wasn’t thinking about that. Something else.”
    “Well, do tell. I could use a diversion to take my mind off of whatever that thing was.” He shuddered.
    She nearly laughed out loud at the irony. No, he definitely didn’t want to know what she was thinking! “I wasn’t thinking of anything worth talking about, I can assure you of that.”
    He started the engine. “Okay, I guess we’d better head back.” He looked at her. “Elle, do you mind if we keep what happened between us … until we can figure out exactly what it was that happened?”
    She hesitated, not wanting to be dishonest with him, but she didn’t want to make him anymore stressed than he already was. Finally, she nodded. “Sure.” She would keep it to herself … sort of . But she was telling Adele, and Adele had better have some answers this time!

Chapter Five

The Letter
    R ushton was going to be Cinderella’s undoing! Her future with Prince Edward, life in the palace, any hope of saving the manor and paying off her family’s debt. It would all end because she was weak. No matter how hard she tried to get away from him, the pull was too great.
    When she first arrived at the castle, she’d mentally prepared herself for a confrontation with Rushton—a confrontation that never came because he’d left. When she’d casually asked Edward about him, Edward told her that Rushton had left the kingdom on a quest of self-discovery in order to come to terms with the dragon attack and the fact that he’d survived when everyone else died. Her first reaction had been panic that she would never see him again, but over time, her sorrow turned to relief. She didn’t know how she could’ve managed to live in such close proximity to him and not be with him.
    Edward was attentive and kind, and thus far, her time in the castle had been spent mostly by his side as they took long strolls in the garden, went on vigorous horseback rides, and had candlelit dinners by the water. Edward was so
