That is not the only time that Aidar asks about the crystal. In fact, it becomes a very frequented topic of conversation. Over the next week, Margaret finds herself constantly trying to deflect questions about the stone, trying to explain that, really, she knows next to nothing about the crystal hanging on the end of the necklace.

In the end, she takes to wearing it tucked inside the collar of her dress. For the most part, if Aidar can’t see the crystal, then he tends to be easily led into other conversations.

Margaret blames the stress of dealing with the Prince as the cause for the strange dreams that she’s suddenly having. That and, perhaps, a few too many cups of slightly spoiled milk.

“They can call it buttermilk,” grumbles Margaret, as she readies herself for bed. “But I know that’s just an excuse not to throw it out after it’s passed the point of prime.”

It’s a cool night. Margaret rushes through getting changed into her dressing gown and then all but flings herself into the large bed. Rather than stay in her own room, she’s taken to sleeping in the bed that rests in Julian’s room.

Partly, it’s because she wants to be here if he comes home. Partly, it’s because she likes having the space to roll over at night without fearing a crash to the ground.

In these late hours, that worry has become exceptionally true. In fact, Margaret almost fears going to sleep at night.

She laments, “if only I didn’t have to dream. If only I could just sleep and not remember what I’ve seen come morning.”

But wishing has never changed anything and, par for the course, Margaret finds herself trapped in a dystopian version of the world during her slumbering hours.
