The book of Scandal
“She was looking for an excuse to bolster her request for a divorce…instead of congratulating him on his botanical work as she ought to have done.
Frankly, as she sat next to the hearth in her rooms now, watching the flames dance against the brick, it seemed unreal that the word divorce had ever passed her lips. Perhaps she’d thought it many times…but to say it aloud now seemed unfathomable, even to her.
Damn him! He’d confused her last night with his kiss and his hands! Her pulse had been racin...g, her skin tingling, and she’d scarcely been able to draw a breath into her lungs! All she could think was that she had to do something, for when the glow of pleasure abated, she would still be trapped in this marriage from which she had detached herself years ago.
Detached. Severed, disengaged, dismembered. In the aftermath of Robbie’s death, something inside her had fundamentally changed…hadn’t it?
Heaven help her, she was suddenly uncertain what was truly changed and what had perhaps just lain dormant.MoreLess
