Chapter 32 Petals Of Doubt

• Scarlett woke to the faint scent of roses drifting through the bedroom. Morning light slipped past the curtains, illuminating a single white rose on her pillow.
• Her breath caught. She remembered the garden with Damien, the moment he slipped a white rose into her hand as their first vow. Now, one lay here alone. No note. No explanation.
• She sat up, heart hammering. The twins slept soundly in the nursery, their breathing even and innocent. Olivia was already downstairs, brewing tea. Serena and Gideon would be out doing reconnaissance soon.
