Chapter Fifteen

Hours later, Thea entered the library with a confident smile on her face. Will looked up from the books spread before him.

Will stood, and a grin tugged at his lips. “Lady Eanruig. How delightful to see you.”

Before Thea could pull out her own chair, Will did the honors for her and helped her get comfortable. He leaned close—close enough Thea could smell the fresh scent of his soap.

“How was your lesson? Perhaps after we’re finished here, you could give me some pointers,” he murmured. Without waiting for her to answer, Will straightened and closed the books in front of him.

“Of course.” Heat pummeled her cheeks, but a smile tugged at her lips. The Cavensham family’s lessons were everything spectacular. She’d never felt so welcome in true friendship. But what thrilled her was that he’d been thinking about her the same as she’d been thinking about him.

“How did you find Pembrooke, Somerton, and McCalpin as teachers?” he asked.

She picked up a writing quill and twirled it in her fingers as she struggled for the right words. They were lovely, but they weren’t you.

“Charmant messieurs?”

A tinge of apprehension coursed through her. She’d never had a French lesson in her life. “What did you say?”

He leaned toward her. “I asked if you thought the men in my family charming.” He lowered his voice. “Would you include me in such illustrious company?”

Another wave of heat hit her. His teasing could only be called affectionate.

Heaven help her.

“We’ll save that discussion for later.” He lowered his voice, then reached over and squeezed one of her hands. “Is my family overwhelming you?”

“On the contrary. I feel quite comfortable with them.” The duke and duchess’s kindness toward her was another example of the Cavensham family’s charity. Stella’s and Claire’s friendships were treasures she’d never dreamed she’d find.

But her recalcitrant heart yearned and demanded for more. To have Will care for her would be a gift she would cherish forever. But there were more important matters she needed—the charter for one.

“You need to see the latest.” Will pulled a copy of The Midnight Cryer from his papers and gave it to her.

Immediately, she straightened in her seat in preparation for the blow. A sudden bout of nausea made her dizzy, but she forced herself to read the headline.
