Pennyroyal (2013)
“Cassy waited more than two hours, pacing the lounge like a tawny tigress, rushing to the window every time she heard anything that sounded like a Land Rover.
Is this what it’s like, she thought, falling hard for someone? This weakness and stupidity, this anguish? If so, she did not want any part of it.
She went upstairs to her bedroom and over to the mirror and tidied her face, staring at the long-fringed, green eyes that could not conceal their hurt. This was all a nonsense and the sooner she ...became Cassandra Ridgeway again, the better. She fought off an unnecessary trembling that sent her hunting through her wardrobe for something warmer to wear. She found a natural spun shawl and huddled into it like the peasant woman it had originally been made for.
“This is ridiculous,” she said aloud. “Do something. Go out and buy some new clothes. You were frozen down the mine.”
The mine! Jake must still be down the mine. Perhaps the lights had failed, perhaps he had slipped on a broken step.MoreLess
