Never Love a Lord
“It was not yet dawn when Julian marched into Fallstowe’s quiet and humid stables the next morn, but the hands were already alive with work, spreading bedding, forking out waste, feeding and organizing and oiling leather accoutrements.

He threw his riding gloves to the dry, dusty floor with a curse and then forgot them, turning to stare out the wide-open doors into the still dark stable yard, his hands on ...his hips.
He could follow her to Bellemont. Likely should. But he feared the outcome of that pursuit would not be desirable for either of them.

At that moment, Julian felt like the stupidest man alive.MoreLess
