Catherine's POV
The moment I got the text message from Julian, I didn't hesitate. I hurriedly ran in silence to my room and took his shirt off, changing into a shirt and shorts, with frantic speed. I grabbed my purse, confirmed Kiera's text, and was out the door and down the grand staircase in under a minute.
I moved through the house like a ghost, skirting the main foyer and heading for the side garden entrance Kiera had mentioned.
Kiera was leaning against a sleek, black car, she was wearing a simple, dark uniform, completing the disguise she'd mentioned on the phone. The sheer relief of seeing her was overwhelming.
I ran the final few steps and threw my arms around her. "Oh, Kiera!"
She hugged me back, but only for a second, then pulled away, her expression all business. "Okay, enough. We have to leave, before your brother finds us. I need to change out of this hideous uniform. Get in the car."
OMG, this car was hers!
