The Nobody: Signet Regency Romance (Intermix)
“Caitlin kept her gaze carefully turned to the left, her hat obscuring her face so the man sitting so closely on her right could not see her color fluctuating. Absurd! she scolded herself. As if I never sat beside a man before!

She cast about wildly in her mind for some topic of conversation that would break the awkward silence, but could not still her whirling thoughts long enough to gather her wits.
