But Carol had not betrayed her. Carol loved her more than she loved her child. That was part of the reason why she had not promised.She was gambling now as she had gambled on getting everything from the detective that day on the road, and she lost then, too. And now she saw Carol's face changing, saw the little signs of astonishment and shock so subtle that perhaps only she in the world could have noticed them, and Therese could not think for a moment.
