So in Love
“Ever since Jeanne had sent him a carefully worded note, he’d been preparing for this outing. The journey to his warehouse was neither a difficult nor a long one, and could easily have been accomplished in a lesser carriage. But he wanted to impress her, only one symptom of losing his mind.
He had found reasons to go to the schoolroom often. A precaution, he told himself—as a girl, she’d turned her back on Margaret. But the governess seemed to genuinely care for her young charge.
The two sides o...f her character were not easily fit together, and he had some bad moments attempting to do so.
It was as if she knew, somehow, that every word she said and every act she performed was measured against a memory. The Jeanne of his youth in many ways matched with the woman she had become now. But there was still something wrong, and that disparity was keeping him awake at night.
Who was Jeanne du Marchand?
The girl he remembered had wanted to know everything. She was genuinely curious about his studies, and they argued vociferously about certain points of Immanuel Kant and other philosophers, finding themselves equally matched in education and intelligence.MoreLess
