Chapter Seven

The stormy skies had interrupted Luther’s plans, and it irritated him. He’d been looking forward to seeing Lady Diana. Now he had to find another way to spend some time with her. He paced his study as he considered his options. He didn’t have any idea what her plans for the evening consisted of or if she was going to attend anything at all. Balls and soirees weren’t his usual haunts and he’d stopped looking at invitations ages ago. It was a fluke he’d looked at the one for the Silverton ball. He probably should start paying attention to them, but it wouldn’t solve his current dilemma.

“Pardon the interruption, my lord, but you have a caller,” his butler announced from the doorway.

“Oh?” he lifted a brow. “Who is it?” Luther didn’t particularly wish to visit with anyone. He had to find a way to spend time with Lady Diana. In other words—he had better, or rather, more important things on his mind.

“Is that any way to greet a friend?”

Luther couldn’t help the tilt of his lips upward into a smile. Bennett Evans, the Marquess of Holton was one of his closest friends. Him along with Julian Everleigh, the Duke of Ashley had gone to Eton, then Oxford together. His trip around the continent had been with them as well. They were, for the most part, inseparable. He hadn’t seen Holton in ages. “I thought you were rusticating or some nonsense.”

Ashley and Holton had come into their titles while they were all at Eton. It had bonded the two of them together, and sometimes it had seemed as if they’d formed a club of two. Luther had never wanted to lose his father to understand their pain, but it had taken that monumental death for it to fully sink in. They’d had to endure it as boys. At least Luther had longer with his father even if he’d been too blind to see it. Sometimes a mountain had to crash over him for him to see the truth. In some ways that’s how he’d finally come to realize what Diana had meant to him. She’d always been there. All he’d had to do was open his eyes and appreciate her for the person he needed.

“I’ve decided to come to the ton for another purpose.”

“Did you miss us?”

Ashley stayed in town and avoided his ancestral estate at all costs. It had too many memories for him to live with and his mother still resided there. The dowager house was in ruins and he refused to repair it. As he never intended to marry he figured his mother could remain at Ashley Abby indefinitely. Luther couldn’t blame him. They’d all heard the stories about her. She came from a long line of women accused of witchcraft. Some believed she’d been the one to murder the previous duke.

“Ashley visited,” he replied. “Why haven’t you?”

“I’ve been rather busy.” Drinking, gambling, falling in love—or perhaps he’d always loved Diana. He couldn’t be certain. “I’m going out this evening.
