Wild Roses
“What has it been—five days? You're really no more than strangers to each other, and that must change." Lady Enid's fresh advice ringing in his mind, Duncan strode toward the bedchamber he couldn't have left faster last night . . . or he wouldn't have left at all.
It still astounded him that John de Gray had suggested he go to Rose's room when Lady Enid had returned to the banquet hall saying she'd heard Rose begin to weep as soon as she'd shut the door. Or perhaps it had been the pointed look L...ady Enid had thrown her husband when he'd at first only advised Duncan to have another goblet of wine. God's teeth, women did have a meaningful way with their eyes. In the next instant, John de Gray had groused that Duncan might want to check on her, and he hadn't hesitated.
He had already been on his way there this morning when Lady Enid had waved him down and informed him that she'd just been to see Rose herself, and that she seemed in lighter spirits. It had been all Duncan could do not to make some ill-advised comment when Lady Enid had suggested he continue whatever he'd done to cheer Rose, along with a gentle plea for him to heed her well-intentioned advice.MoreLess
