Eyes wide, Maggie stared at her hand.

Come on, Maggie. Say something. Say yes. Say you’ll be mine.

Rising, Davis’s arm circled her waist as he swept her off the platform and onto the dance floor again. That’ll give her time to wrap her head around what had just happened. It would give him time to get his head around it all, too. Had he really just proposed? So much for waiting, courting. But he’d gladly have a Groundhog Day to relive the moment, over and over.

Maggie held on tight, still speechless.

“What are you thinking?” Davis whispered, allowing his lips to brush her ear. His mouth formed a kiss which he planted on her delicate lobe with its tiny diamond stud. He’d wanted to do that all night.

“I—” Maggie eased from his hold and wove her way through the dancers toward the door.

Davis followed, grasping her hand.

At least she didn’t swat it away. Then they got to the privacy beyond Levens Hall’s doors, and Maggie pulled away.

She glared at him. “Is this a joke? A dare by your bored friends? A–a weird arrangement your parents thought might be a good idea, or your peers? The baron and the commoner? Was your coming to my shop all planned?”

“Maggie, no. How can you even think that? I love you.”

“Love me? You don’t even know me.”

“Then let me get to know you.” He reached for her again.

Maggie hitched her dress and fled down the stairs into the driveway, leaving one dainty high-heel behind on the last step as she did. She abandoned the other paces away and headed toward where Reginald had indicated her car was parked and charging.

Davis took off after her. Floodlights shining into the gardens lit the way. Maggie wasn’t far ahead, but if he didn’t increase his pace, he wouldn’t catch her before she could lock herself in her car. By golly, the girl could run. All he could do while trying his best not to let her get away was pray that Jeeves hadn’t left the key in the ignition.

No cars were parked where the BMW stood, and the ground was empty of the cord that had earlier fed electricity from the house to the car. Jeeves must’ve packed that all away once the car had charged. So much for hoping she’d be parked in.

Maggie flung open the door and fell inside, slamming the door behind her. She locked it as Davis reached for the handle.

“Maggie, please open the door. Let’s talk.”

She shook her head, and the engine roared to life. He let go of the door. Maggie meant business. No way he’d risk being dragged down the driveway. Stones sprayed into the air as the car wheels spun against the gravel. Best to let her go. He’d catch up, but not tonight. Yes, he could run and jump into his Ferrari. He’d have his car smelling the i3’s exhaust fumes in no time, but at what risk. She’d only speed, and he could be the cause of a terrible accident.
