Chasing Eliza
“She couldn’t remember much about her arrival at the inn other than the group of large, overpowering males that had towered over her with varying degrees of concern on their faces.
Now, having had some sleep, she was thirsty and hungry. There was no water jug in her room, and Eliza was loathed to ring for a maid.
She didn’t want to cause any commotion just for some water and quickly dressed to go in search of the tap room or kitchens for a drink.
She had no idea what time it was, but the tap was... dark and deserted, the regular patrons having long since left in search of their beds. As she moved down the darkened corridor towards the back of the inn and the kitchens, she passed the door to the private parlour.

She quickly glanced up and down the corridor and with only a small pang of guilt, listened to Edward vent his fury.MoreLess
