    “What are you smiling at?”

    I whirled, peering into the gloom. The Darkling’s voice seemed to float out of the shadows. He walked down to the stream, crouching on the bank to splash water on his face and through his dark hair.

    “Well?” he asked, looking up at me.

    “Myself,” I admitted.

    “Are you that funny?”

    “I’m hilarious.”

    “Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment.
    “No” I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.”
    "I can't.”

    “So I am to sit here and feed you information,” Cardan says, leaning against a hickory tree. “And you’re to go charm royalty? That seems entirely backward.”
    I fix him with a look. “I can be charming. I charmed you, didn’t I?”
    He rolls his eyes. “Do not expect others to share my depraved tastes.”

    “The three of you have one solution to every problem. Murder. No key fits every lock.” Cardan gives us all a stern look, holding up a long-fingered hand with my stolen ruby ring still on one finger. “Someone tries to betray the High King, murder. Someone gives you a harsh look, murder. Someone disrespects you, murder. Someone ruins your laundry, murder.”

    “He looks up at me with his night-colored eyes, beautiful and terrible all at once. “For a moment,” he says, “I wondered if it wasn’t you shooting bolts at me.”

    I make a face at him. “And what made you decide it wasn’t?”

    He grins up at me. “They missed.”

    “Tell me again what you said at the revel,” he says, climbing over me, his body against mine.

    “What?” I can barely think.

    “That you hate me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Tell me that you hate me.”

    “I hate you,” I say, the words coming out like a caress. I say it again, over and over. A litany. An enchantment. A ward against what I really feel. “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.”

    He kisses me harder.

    “I hate you,” I breathe into his mouth. “I hate you so much that sometimes I can’t think of anything else.”
