The Governess Was Wicked
“It is imperative, therefore, that her governess be above reproach as well.
—Miss Carrington’s Guide for Governesses Elizabeth tried her very best to ignore the thrum of her heart as she followed Dr. Fellows into the hallway. Something had shifted between them in the darkened nursery. It was just a flash in his eyes, but it betrayed a hunger that stole her breath. That look was the sort of thing that made her hope that, just once, he’d shed his proper, polite exterior. Or perhaps that was si...mply what she wished she was bold enough to do.
Keeping her head down, she walked beside him, hoping he’d allow her the chance to compose her thoughts. She should have known he’d notice her reticence.

She pressed a hand to her temple. “I’m certain she will. I just wish she’d do so sooner rather than later.”MoreLess
