Sonnet to a Dead Contessa
“Serafina looked up from her book with surprise. “Superintendent Grant? Are you sure he doesn’t want to see Dora?”
James Barden, tall and dignified, never showed surprise. He was one of the most certain people Serafina had ever known. “No, ma’am, he specifically asked for you.”
“Well, would you show him in, please, James?”
“Certainly.”
Serafina was puzzled, for she could not imagine why Grant would come to see her. Putting her book down, she rose and waited until he stepped through the door. She... saw at once that he was troubled. “Is there something wrong, Matthew?”
“Could I talk to you for a moment, Lady Trent?”
“Not unless you call me Serafina. We’re going to be family, Matthew, so no more titles.”
Matthew smiled. “That will be a little bit difficult for me, but I’ll do my best.” Grant ran his hand through his hair, which was thick and glossy and a beautiful silver colour. It was very attractive, although he did not think of it like that. He had sharp, penetrating hazel eyes, but Serafina could tell that he was disturbed.MoreLess
