Lord of Secrets
“Arriving home from the estate village, David had seemed in a better mood than he had the evening before—a bit more talkative, a shade less wary. She hoped he was already regretting his decision of the night before. Though she’d resolved not to push him, it would be lovely if he’d changed his mind about sharing her bed. She went down to dinner humming.
Humming, but curiously fatigued. As she took her seat on the carved mahogany chair across from David, she sank down gratefully, as bone-weary as ...if she’d spent the entire day on her feet. Perhaps she should have taken a less ambitious ride that morning. Her weeks on the Neptune’s Fancy had left her unused to outdoor exercise, and now her back ached. Even picking up her soup spoon seemed to require more energy than it should.
Strangely, though, David didn’t look at all tired, though he’d not only ridden to the estate village and back but also risen earlier than she had. Sitting across from her, broad-shouldered and elegant in his dinner clothes, he looked fit and strong.MoreLess
