Chapter Nine

Violetta spent the time in the parlour with the other women talking, but also dreading the moment when the men would join them again. Given that Kit had had the audacity to touch her like that, at the dinner table, what else might he dare, with others present?

It was one thing to have had an Inn full of strangers believing her a trollop, it would be another entirely for her cousin and his houseguests to do so!

But when the men came into the parlour, Kit simply regarded her with a slightly sardonic smile, and then pretended she did not exist. Which left her feeling hurt, instead of happy. She was becoming as confused by her own feelings as she was by his words.

She turned her eyes away from him, and tried her best to pretend that he was not there. In which attempt she did not succeed – but she did at least manage to have an interesting conversation with Mariel, and her friend Selina.

In the end, she excused herself quite early, claiming fatigue from travelling, and took herself up to bed. Kit’s eyes followed her as she left the room – she could feel it, as if he had physically touched her. She did not, however, allow herself to turn and meet that gaze – she would not give him the pleasure of knowing that he affected her so.

Despite her tiredness, sleep was a long time coming, and laden with dreams – of Kit’s kisses, and of that night, so long ago, when he had not come for her, as he’d promised.
