Twelve Days in December: a Christmas Novella
“He couldn’t get there fast enough, or so it seemed, and by the time he reached the sanctuary of his bedroom, his fingers trembled then slipped on the knob when he tried to turn it.
Four times. This cannot be happening. His fingers managed to twist the knob, and on legs that felt weak, he entered the room. The door shut behind him, and he made straight for the chair near the window and the snifter of brandy on the side table. A thoughtful servant had delivered it earlier, saying it was for calmi...ng pre-wedding nerves, should William have any.
If he ever actually had a wedding, he might. Four times. I must be cursed. He sank heavily into the chair then reached for the glass. He brought it to his lips but at the last second thought the better of consuming even one drop of alcohol. Charlotte had nearly two full hours in which to change her mind, and no doubt she would, though he couldn’t help admiring the way she’d stepped in to save her sister, even if Charlotte would come to her senses and back down before all was said and done.MoreLess
