Chapter 22 Summary
Ivy tries to pull Bram away from Hambleton, and Emmett comes running to separate the two men. However, when Bram reveals Hambleton’s insult to Ivy, Emmett punches Hambleton as well. The club manager suggests that Bram leave. He, Emmett, and Ivy take a carriage, and Bram licks his split lip, healing it instantly. Bram notices the blood on Ivy’s dress and magically changes it to another color. When they get out of the carriage, Bram kisses Ivy’s cheek. When Ivy is almost to the cottage, Emmett jogs up to her and asks if she’s upset at him. She lies, claiming that she isn’t. Emmett reveals that Bram has never punched someone over a girl before.
Over the next few days, the debutantes prepare for the hunting trip. Ivy gets her mother’s note, saying that Lydia is feeling better; her mother also gives her a news clipping about the fight in the club and has written a congratulatory note in the margins. Ivy puts the letter in the faerie book, along with maps that she has stolen.
On Tuesday, Olive has dinner with Bram. Back at the cottage, she tells everyone that Bram kissed her, and Ivy hides her distress at this news.
