To Protect And to Cherish
“Jillian thought it best not to hint at the matter when there were servants around, so she planned to discuss it when they retired for the night.
It was disappointing, then, that he did not come to bed before she fell asleep.
The next morning did not bring any relief from the tension because he was up before her and gone from the house by the time she awoke.
Jillian knew she was not imagining that he was avoiding her.
He sent word with Mr. Tellem that he would be riding into town... and she should not wait to dine.
Jillian was unable to eat much of her own meal. She went to her room and dressed for bed, wondering if she should even bother going to her husband’s bed chamber. If he saw her there, he would likely leave.
She paced in her own chambers, waiting for him to return. For three hours she dared not sit and read lest she fall asleep and miss him.MoreLess
