Wild Legacy (1999)
“It was a leisurely meal, and they lingered over dessert, but finally Beau announced he would have to go, and everyone followed him to the docks to wave good-bye. He kissed Dominique, hesitated as though he wished to say something more than a hasty farewell, but settled upon giving her hand a squeeze. Then he boarded his sleek schooner with a haste that made it plain he was eager to get underway. Dominique scanned the faces of the men lined up at the rail. Some had sailed with Beau several years... and she wished them a good voyage by name. Others were smiling strangers, so she bid them adieu with no more than a wave.
Hoping not to arouse anyone's notice, Dominique searched for Etienne without success. Not that she would have waved to the obnoxious young man, but sighting him would have added the finality she desired. She had learned a valuable lesson from him and would emphatically refuse the next time anyone asked her to entertain a male guest. She did not care if she were perceived as indifferent or rude; it would be far better than inciting the insults Etienne had spewed so freely.MoreLess
