Almost a Spinster
“Her only consolation was that gossipy Roberta Wington had made a hasty exit after her horrible revelation about Gabriel’s financial position.
Of course, she was likely already inside, spreading the news of Felicity’s newest shame to everyone. And here she had sought to avoid that kind of gossip for so long.
She wanted to run. To bolt away from the party, climb into a carriage and just go, as far and as fast as she could. Change her name, change her life. Find a place to hide from the sh...ame of her past and from the hurt that now blossomed in her chest like a poisonous flower.
She caught her breath just before it became a sob. No. No. No. She wouldn’t, she couldn’t run anymore. She wouldn’t hide from the past. If anything, she’d learned that wasn’t possible. She had let one Windsworth brother shame her into doing that, she wouldn’t let the second.
Of course, she could march straight to her father and tell him every horrible thing she could think of about Gabriel.MoreLess
