the century. It was the marriage between the Jonesons and the Coles after all. The streets were packed with people celebrating the occasion.Elspeth wondered if the escape would be successful. Michael must have his guards around, and Harper would find it difficult to save her. Yet, she must try. She refused to marry Edmund just like that.
