The Lady in the Tower
“She’d wrapped her arm about the wrought iron, grateful for its sturdiness and more importantly its absolute, unequivocal stillness. Contrasting sharply to the coolness on her left side stood the warmth of Thornton on her right. She released his lapel and opened her hand to press her palm flat against his chest. Heat soaked through the layers of his clothing, sparking something inside her. Awareness of him eclipsed all thought and it was some time before she realized that, comfortable as this wa...s, she could hardly stay here all day.
But now she had to remove herself from this situation and she had no idea how to do so and keep her dignity. She couldn’t decide which was more humiliating: the fact that she’d nearly retched all over him and his well-sprung landau, or that he’d honed right in on her sense of guilt about Albert’s death. She’d never considered the idea that she shouldn’t have gotten involved in the diagnosis of family, but now that he’d explained his thoughts, she had to admit that he made sense.MoreLess
