CHAPTER TWELVE

“I am just concerned about you,” Will murmured.

Georgiana waved at her dress. “Well, you have seen that I am perfectly alright so you can go now.”

It galled him to have to admit it but his friendship with Georgiana wasn’t there anymore. He had no idea when everything had changed but it was quite evident that Georgiana didn’t consider him anything more than an irritation, someone who was too much like her relatives to be trusted.

“You need to sober up a little. Then we can talk properly,” Will sighed. He waved toward a chaise in the hope she would sit down before she fell down but she refused to budge.

“Get out of this house,” she snapped.

“I just want to find out what happened to make you run all the way here,” Will reasoned.

“I didn’t run. I decided to move that’s all. When nobody appeared to listen to me, I decided to take matters into my own hands and go. But this is nothing to do with you because we are not married, you are not my brother, and you are certainly not my parent. It is not for you to try to tell me what to do anymore, Will. I am not a child. Get used to it. I am sorry if you don’t like what you see, but I don’t care. This is me. What I do in the privacy of my home is none of your business.”

Will stared at her in amazement. He was shocked that they were having their first argument. In the past, he had always put his opinions forward, forcefully if he had to, and Georgiana had always acceded to them. Now, there was a fire in her eyes that had never been there. It was clear she had no intention of listening to him. This was the first time that the battle-lines had been drawn. He hadn’t anticipated them being on opposite sides of it. In the past, they had always been together, a united front, against her parents. Now, he realised that the line had moved, and he hadn’t even seen it. It rocked his world and made him wonder what else he had missed.

“I am just worried about this sudden change in you,” Will said quietly.

“I have wanted to do it for a long time,” Georgiana whispered. “You just didn’t notice.”

She had no idea if she was talking about him not noticing her, or the way she felt. Either way, it was too much for her muddled mind to understand so she left it alone. She had already said too much.

“I want you to go now. You need to tell my parents that I am fine but have no intention of returning to Cranbury,” she said flatly.

Before Will had the opportunity to say anything, Georgiana lurched toward the door and swiped the brandy bottle off the table as she left the room. The thumps and bumps of her bouncing off the walls as she traversed the hallway made him shake his head in disbelief.
