She was smart enough to choose the perfect word. Sixth letter “h”. Next word. Fifth letter “e”. Simon would get it. Simon would know that they had never traveled by private charter to Sihnon on vacation. He would know to look for her code.
She was so smart. Smart enough to learn six languages. Smart enough to master higher mathematics. Smart enough to write a coded letter that her brother would understand.
Smart enough to get into the most exclusive private education program in thirty worlds.
So why hadn’t she been smart enough to see it was a huge mistake?
