CHAPTER 11

On the carriage ride back to the townhouse, Megan gazed out into the darkness. Nicholas hadn’t shown up. Her stomach clenched and she closed her eyes. Why did he stay away? Did he care nothing for her? Oh, why did she have to love him so?

Julian took her hands. “Did you have a good time tonight?”

“I had a grand time, Jules.” She pulled her hands free.

“Then why are you so melancholy? Didn’t the Duke of Huntington pay you enough attention?” he jeered.

She felt her cheeks bloom with color and nudged her brother’s knee. “Julian, will you not tease me, please?”

“You know I can’t resist, dear heart. But there is nary a finer man in all of England than Daniel Claiborne.”

“He seems very nice,” she agreed quietly.

From the corner of her eye, she watched her brother purse his lips and lean back against the seat. He folded his arms over his broad chest. “But he’s not Nicholas Bradshaw.”

Her eyes filled with tears. No, he wasn’t. Her one true love would forever be Nicholas. “This isn’t easy for me, Jules, but I am trying.”

Julian cupped her cheek. “I know it isn’t, sweet,” he said as a tear slid from her eye and rolled down his hand. Then he pulled her close.

Although she loved her brother to distraction, she wished he wouldn’t smother her so. She’d even grown to dislike his pet name for her. He treated her like a child and she detested that. He also hated Nicholas. Their mutual hatred must be the reason Nicholas stayed away. She squeezed her eyes shut. Or he had figured out she wasn’t right for him after all. Had he given up on her?
