Heathersleigh Homecoming (2015)
“She had to try to find out what they were up to. And she wanted to be safely in place at her table in the corner before either Ramsay or Barclay made an appearance, and with a copy of the day’s newspaper to hold up in front of her face if need be.
She had been sitting at the table almost an hour, and had drawn out her own breakfast about as long as was credible, when the two men walked in together, absent the presence of either female member of the potential trio, Greenfield or Mrs. Halifax.... Amanda thought she detected Ramsay’s eyes resting upon her for the briefest of seconds. Trying to act nonchalant, though her heart began to pound the moment she knew he was looking at her, she took a slow sip from a cup of lukewarm tea, then casually raised the paper in front of her up just to her eyes. Slowly Ramsay looked away.
Whew! she thought. She had apparently passed the first test of the new mademoiselle look with flying colors.
Her self-congratulations, however, were a little too hasty.MoreLess
