Chapter Seven
Daisy stared at Laird Abbot as he stormed away and tried to suppress her tears. “Rose,” she croaked. “What were you thinking?”
“I…” Rose started. A shade of pink stained Rose’s cheeks. “I didn’t mean any harm.”
Colin scrubbed his face. “Rose, darling, you can’t bring up a woman’s affection for another man in front of one who is clearly smitten.”
That made Daisy pause and some of the dread settling in her stomach lightened. “He’s smitten?”
Colin shrugged. “Isn’t it obvious? He’s concerned with helping her, escorting her on walks, jealous of the likes of Lord Price.”
Rose raised her brows, stepping toward her sister and reaching for her hand. “And how do you feel about him?”
Daisy twisted her own hands together, pulling on her shoulder, but she wasn’t certain she cared about the twinge of pain. “I don’t feel about him the way I’ve felt about any of the others. He makes me feel…” She shifted. “I suppose he not only makes me have that light feeling deep in my stomach but also safe and willing to share and…”
“Oh!” Rose cried. “You’re in love. Really in love this time.”
Love? She let out a small cry. “No. It can’t be.”
Rose smiled at that. “Now I know you are because usually you’re loudly declaring your affection.”
Daisy shook her head, heaviness settling in her limbs. “But this almost hurts.”
Colin scratched his neck. “That’s love.”
She pressed her fingers to her cheeks, the heat radiating from them almost alarming. “But I’ve only known him for a day.”
“And he swept you into his arms and kept you warm and took off your—” Rose stopped as Colin glared again.
Daisy gazed over the large lawn that surrounded the house. In the distance, the cliffs dropped away down the to the harbor.
“Hello,” a woman’s voice called. “What’s everyone looking at?”
Daisy’s head snapped up to see their friend, and Colin’s cousin, standing next to her carriage with her husband. “Oh. Thank goodness. It’s Fiona.” Without waiting, she started toward the carriage, waving to her. Surely Fiona would know what to do.
Rose fell in step beside Daisy. “It’s so good to see you!”
Fiona picked up her skirts and started making her way toward them. “It’s good to see you too.” She met them halfway, her eyes scanning both women. “What’s wrong that you’re walking so slow? I ken ye both and nothing slows either of ye down.”
Rose pointed at Daisy. “Her shoulder is all bruised because she got knocked by a horse.”
“Oh dear.” Fiona reached out and gave her a gentle hug. Leaning her cheek down on Fiona’s shoulder, she hugged her friend back. “That isn’t the half of it.”
Fiona’s gaze narrowed. “Tell me everything.”
And so Daisy did. Starting from the beginning, she told Fiona and Rose the truth about Lord Price, and how she’d somehow believed he was supposed to be have rescued her three years prior, and about the way Laird Abbott had kissed her. They walked together as Colin and Tom had their own discussion. When she’d finished, both women were silent.
