I sat at the dinner table with Lucien and Tamlin. Neither of them spoke, but Lucien’s gazekept bouncing from me, to Tamlin, then to his plate.After ten minutes of silence, I set down my fork and said to Tamlin, “What is it?”Tamlin didn’t hesitate. “You know what it is.”I didn’t reply.“You gave that water-wraith your jewelry. Jewelry I gave you.”“We have a damned house full of gold and jewels.”Lucien took a deep breath that sounded a lot like: “Here we go.”“Why shouldn’t I give them to her?” I demanded. “Those things don’t mean anything tome. I’ve never worn the same piece of jewelry twice! Who cares about any of it?”Tamlin’s lips thinned. “Because you undermine the laws of this court when you behavelike that. Because this is how things are done here, and when you hand that gluttonousfaerie the money she needs, it makes me—it makes this entire court—look weak.”“Don’t you talk to me like that,” I said, baring my teeth. He slammed his hand on thetable, claws poking through his flesh, but I leaned forward, bracing my own hands on thewood. “You still have no idea what it was like for me—to be on the verge of starvation formonths at a time. And you can call her a glutton all you like, but I have sisters, too, and Iremember what it felt like to return home without any food.” I calmed my heaving chest,and that force beneath my skin stirred, undulating along my bones. “So maybe she’llspend all that money on stupid things—maybe she and her sisters have no self-control. ButI’m not going to take that chance and let them starve, because of some ridiculous rule thatyour ancestors invented.”Lucien cleared his throat. “She meant no harm, Tam.”“I know she meant no harm,” he snapped.Lucien held his gaze. “Worse things have happened, worse things can happen. Justrelax.”Tamlin’s emerald eyes were feral as he snarled at Lucien, “Did I ask for your opinion?”Those words, the look he gave Lucien and the way Lucien lowered his head—mytemper was a burning river in my veins. Look up, I silently beseeched him. Push back.He’s wrong, and we’re right. Lucien’s jaw tightened. That force thrummed in me again,seeping out, spearing for Lucien. Do not back down—Then I was gone.Still there, still seeing through my eyes, but also half looking through another angle inthe room, another person’s vantage point—Thoughts slammed into me, images and memories, a pattern of thinking and feeling thatwas old, and clever, and sad, so endlessly sad and guilt-ridden, hopeless—Then I was back, blinking, no more than a heartbeat passing as I gaped at Lucien.
His head. I had been inside his head, had slid through his mental walls—I stood, chucking my napkin on the table with hands that were unnervingly steady.I knew who that gift had come from. My dinner rose in my throat, but I willed it down.“We’re not finished with this meal,” Tamlin growled.“Oh, get over yourself,” I barked, and left.I could have sworn I beheld two burned handprints on the wood, peeking out frombeneath my napkin. I prayed neither of them noticed.And that Lucien remained ignorant to the violation I’d just committed.
