Chapter 46 Punch To The Gut

• Catharine's P.O.V
• My mind raced back to the way Mr. Hawthorn had offered me that drink. The way he had insisted I take it, the way he had pushed it toward me with such determination. He hadn't just been harassing me randomly. He had planned this. He had already decided to spike that drink, and had already planned on taking advantage of me once the drug took effect.
• The realization made me feel sick to my stomach. If I had accepted that drink, if I had taken even one sip, I would be the one in Caroline's position right now. Helpless, drugged, vulnerable.
