JEREMY WAS SILENT as we made our way back to the Imperial. “Are you all right?” I asked.

“There was something about that girl…. I don’t know what it is…she looks so familiar, but I can’t place her.”

“Bainbridge!” Colin stepped across the Kärntner Ring in front of the hotel and shook Jeremy’s hand before kissing mine. “Where the bloody hell have you had my fiancée all afternoon?” He kissed my hand again, his eyes full of teasing warmth.

“Oh, you know Em, she’s been running me around all day in search of justice. Tedious girl. Don’t know how you tolerate her.” He looked at my face as he spoke, but did not meet my eyes.

“You’re a beast, Jeremy. But thank you for accompanying me. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

He stared down at his feet, then looked into my eyes. “Right, then. I’ll be off if you’re quite done with me.” The moment he’d disappeared into the hotel, Colin pulled me close and kissed me.

“You’re lovely with the snow falling all around you,” he said. “But I’d best get you inside before you freeze.” As we turned to the entrance, I saw Jeremy standing in the doorway, watching us. He saw me looking at him and came back out, his face red as he rushed past us and made his way down the street. I called out to him, but he did not stop. Colin grabbed my arm when I started to follow.

“Let him go.”

“But I—”

“This is difficult enough for him, Emily.”

“You don’t think that he—” I stopped, looked after him. “No, Colin. You’re wrong.”

“Believe what you want, my dear, but this is one case where I know better than you.”
