Honestly, what was going on?

I’d come to the parlor at Nadir’s urging. Of course, both he and Abel were there. And Abel kept on groveling, begging for forgiveness.

What was I supposed to do?

“Um,” I began, “please, take a seat. On a chair.” I wasn’t the host, so it wasn’t my place to say that, but I couldn’t help myself.

At my request, Abel immediately lifted his head.

“You speak so gently to me, despite the awful things I said to you yesterday,” Abel whimpered. “Oh, Lady Brianna...”

Was it just me, or was there the faintest hint of fascination in his gaze? Hopefully he wasn’t getting the wrong idea.

“Hey,” Nadir snapped, grabbing Abel by the collar and forcing him to sit down. “It’s rude to stare.”

Abel shifted in his chair, turned to me once more, and lowered his head. “I truly am sorry for the unspeakably rude things I said.”

“Oh, um, er,” I stammered, “I went too far, too, so I’m sorry as well.” I couldn’t quite wrap my head around what was happening, but I figured I should apologize too.

Abel’s eyes grew misty. “I’d heard of Nadir’s engagement and wondered who his chosen might be,” he explained. “When I realized that was you, well, I wanted to unmask you. I’d heard stories about you before.”

Stories? What stories? Wait, no, I could imagine what stories, and they couldn’t be anything good. It was best not to ask.

“You were watching out for your friend’s best interests, I imagine,” I said. Abel’s words suggested he really did see Nadir as a friend. I would’ve never imagined Nadir of all people could have a friend like this.

Abel let out a low, whiny sound. “I’m sorry... I thought my friend was being tricked by a gold-digging hussy...”

“You really didn’t need to say it in so many words,” I replied. So that was how people saw me. A gold-digging hussy. I knew it. Expected it, even!

“So having heard of your ill repute and knowing that my friend’s never shown any interest in women before,” Abel continued, “when I saw you two together I thought I had to open his eyes!”

Did he have to keep disparaging me as he apologized? Honestly! Was I supposed to be happy or sad?

Abel kept his head low as he continued his desperate attempt at an explanation. “I didn’t know about your circumstances, Lady Brianna. To think you’ve been struggling so much...” He sobbed. “So much...”

And now he was crying.

In stark contrast to my panic and inability to comprehend what was happening, Nadir remained perfectly composed.

Abel sobbed once more. “At least allow me to invite you to dinner as an apology—”

“Ben,” Nadir said, “I believe it’s time for our guest to go.”

“What?” Abel replied. “Don’t be so heartless, Nadir!”

At Nadir’s request, Ben, the young butler, came over and began to drag Abel out of the house.

“I’ll invite you to dinner yet!” Abel yelled, his voice fading as he was hauled further away. “Mark my wooords!”

That had been loud and clear. He really wanted to invite me to dinner.
