The Duchess And the Spy
“And though she found it quite difficult to bathe without Daphne, she was trying. The water was growing cold, and she shivered as she stood up, searching for a towel. She’d never realized more fully, how much she’d relied on Daphne. Daphne had been her shadow, her friend, and in some ways, her protector.

She reached for the towel, slipped, and crashed back into the tub. Pain seared through her body, and she bit her lip t...o keep from crying out. Her bite had been so hard, that she tasted blood in her mouth.
“Mon dieu!” She blinked back tears. Burning pain still resonated through her lower half, and she heard Christopher trying to get into the bathing room, though she had securely locked the door. She mustered a slight smile, and clutched the edge of the tub as she tried to pull herself upright again.
Her injured leg was still wobbly, and she’d be lucky if she managed to conquer getting out of the tub, she never should have dared bathing with the way it felt, but she had to get the smell of smoke and death off her.MoreLess
