Chapter 4

Garrick didn’t know what to do. His worry for Hannah had no bounds. He wanted to keep her protected and safe, but she refused to comply with his wishes. When she’d turned her back on him so brazenly and walked in the garden his first urge was to stalk after her to drag her back inside. He didn’t give into it though. She would not have reacted well to his domineering attitude and the last thing he wanted to do was make her hate him. That would be unbearable…

“What has you brooding?” a familiar male’s voice greeted him.

He glanced up and couldn’t stop the smile from forming on his face. The Viscount of Warwick, Donovan Turner leaned on the doorframe of Garrick’s office. His golden blond locks fell over his forehead haphazardly and his dark blue eyes were filled with mischief. Oh, how he’d missed his friend.

Garrick lifted a brow mockingly. “They let anyone in the castle these days. My staff can’t tell the difference between quality and riffraff.”

“If they could they’d have tossed you out days ago,” he retorted. The corner of his mouth lifted in amusement. “I’d count my blessings if I were you.”

“Touché.” Garrick couldn’t really argue that point. There were plenty of times he didn’t fully believe he was fit for the role of lord and master. “What brings you here?”

Warwick strolled over to the sideboard and poured himself a sniffer of brandy. He downed the contents and filled it again. Garrick stared at him unsure what was going through his friend’s mind. When he finally turned to glance at him Warwick said gesturing to the brandy, “My apologies did you want one too?”

“I hadn’t considered it,” he replied. Which was the truth. He’d been staring blindly at the accounting books for the better part of the morning. Hannah had been distracting his concentration and work had been almost nonexistent. A drink might be a good idea. “But yes, pour me one.”

His friend grabbed another glass, filled it, and handed it to him. Garrick drained half of it and set it on his desk then returned his attention to the viscount. “Now are you going to explain your sudden appearance?” He lifted a brow. “Manchester Castle isn’t exactly on the way to—well—anything.” The closest village was on the coast and had the unfortunate name of Sheerness.

“I can’t visit an old friend?” he asked affronted. “It’s been years since I saw you last. I’ve missed you.”

“Hogwash,” Garrick said. “You forget I know you too well. What are you running from? A husband or a father?”

He placed a hand on his chest and said dramatically. “I’m wounded you think so ill of me.”

Garrick rolled his eyes. “Some things never do change.”

His friend had been one of the biggest rogue’s ever to hit the London scene. There wasn’t a female he hadn’t been able to charm—seduction wasn’t far behind that. Most men didn’t trust him around their female relations, but a few were sly enough to find a way to meet Warwick.
