"Where've you been?" he asked.
"Downstairs," she admitted. "I was looking for Katy – "
"Who is Katy?" he snapped.
"The maid who was helping me," she explained.
"And why did you go gallivanting around behind the inn to find a maid?" he demanded. Emma's mouth fell open in surprise, then realized her window faced the rear of the building.
"I can explain everything," she sighed.
"You can explain why you were with some man, embracing behind an inn in the dark?" he asked sharply. "Do you know how embarrassing it is to have my uncle tell me my new bride is already seeking another man?" he spat. "I didn't realize you spurned my advances because you loved another! Your desire for honesty was just a ploy to hide your own secrets!" he cried.
"No!" Emma shouted back, shocked by his accusations. So Lord Farley had gone to the earl and fed him lies. "You've got it all wrong!"
"I saw you myself!" he bellowed. "Right beneath the window, embracing some commoner!"
"No!" Emma growled. "I mean, I was, but it wasn't –"
"I'm such a fool!" he cried. "A damned fool!" He stomped from the room, tearing open the door and slamming it shut behind him. Emma flinched then melted into a puddle of tears in the middle of the floor.
