No one would know that.
They would have had to see Ceit’s bones to know she sustained a facial trauma before she fell.
“The whole way down, she screamed. I can hear her screaming.”
That was horrible.
None of them said anything.
When she walked toward the one corner, she pointed.
“Where is the mirror that was here?” she asked.
Well, that was easy.
After Duncan and Ciarán stepped back into it after protecting Gabby, they moved it to the storage room with all the other things that were Duncan’s.
“We moved it,” Graham admitted.
Sarah stared at the corner, for another second, and didn’t move.
“She’s sorry about the curse,” she said. “A witch put it on the family. Only someone from the family can break it. I’m sorry, but I can’t remove it. It’s a blood curse. It will require a Granndach heir to end it.”
Well, that was problematic for so many reasons.
They’d have to find one—being the biggest.
Without a word, Sarah started back toward the door, but said nothing else. Everyone else was staring at each other, and they were all thinking the same thing.
She’d nailed that.
As Sarah walked down the stairs, she kept talking to them.
“The ghosts here are very talkative,” she admitted. “They need to be heard.”
Well, yeah.
Thankfully, this might just work for them.
Sarah continued.
“The Lord of the manor came back. Duncan returned,” she said. “When he got here, the man who killed the woman upstairs was here. He threatened him.”
They listened.
“He was trying to take his son. He was trying to take the knight’s son.”
They didn’t know that.
“Did he kill the man?”
She shook her head.
“He didn’t get the chance. A female killed him. My spirit guide is telling me it was his flesh and blood. Did he have another child?”
Ian nodded.
When they expected her to say more, she didn’t. Instead, she walked out the door in the kitchen, and through thecourtyard. As she did, she headed beyond the barn, and toward the lake.
