Be My Prince
““I wish Randolph could have escorted us himself,” Lucille whispered, “instead of sending a servant to do it for him. Is there any possibility that he has escorted another woman here this evening? Are we second choice, do you think?”
“I don’t know, Mama. We shall have to wait and see.” Alex looked up at the only empty box, which was reserved for Randolph, his sister, Rose, and the regent, and wondered if her stepmother was correct. Perhaps another more purposeful young lady—not distracted by the... wrong man—had put her hooks into Randolph already and was well on her way to becoming the future Queen of Petersbourg.
Just then, Lucille turned in her seat, then quickly faced forward again. “Good Lord. Sit up straight, Alexandra. Your benefactor has just walked in.”
Alex turned to see Mr. Carmichael taking a seat at the rear of the theater. She faced the stage again and kept her eyes fixed on the velvet curtains while she comprehended the situation.
This was the first time she had encountered her benefactor since her debut into society.MoreLess
