Sleepless At Midnight
“Did you see the way Berwick was looking at her? The man is smitten.”
Yes, he’d noticed. And hadn’t cared a jot. Wasn’t touched by even the slightest twinge of jealousy.
“Even though Thurston and Hartley lavished their attentions on Lady Emily tonight, I’d wager to say that they are smitten with Lady Julianne as well,” Daniel continued. Matthew stared into the fire and tried, truly tried, to dredge up even a tiny flicker of jealousy at the thought of another man courting Lady Julianne.
And found... nothing.

With an exclamation of disgust, he pushed away from the mantel and dragged his hands down his face. Then he strode toward the door. “I’ll see you in the morning.”
