Later that night, she lay awake in her bed staring at her ceiling. She’d long given up the notion that she would sleep this night. Nash was far too heavy on her mind, and guilt filled her heart and her head that Nash, not Owen, was in both. Owen, who had declared his love. Owen, who had told her that the pain he lived with from his limp was nothing if he had her as his wife in the end. Owen loved her, but Nash still filled every cell she possessed. She hated herself, and she hated Nash, too.

Yet, she didn’t. She hated that she loved him, and that it was not a simple matter to forget him, particularly when he sounded so enraged on her behalf that someone might have harmed her. She rolled onto her side and punched her pillow. When he did things like vow to kill the villain and rip his heart out… Well, those sorts of words could confuse a lady, especially one prone to romantic leanings as she used to be. She was not going to be that sort anymore. An impassioned vow such as Nash’s could make a lady think a man was harboring secret feelings for her. But not this lady, of course. She flopped onto her back again. She could not, under any circumstances, ask Nash if any of those scenarios might possibly be the case. Nor could she put herself in a situation where he might tell her.

She bit her lip as she stared once more at the ceiling. If Nash did love her, it would be worse to know, wouldn’t it? She listened to her breathing for a long while as her mind wrestled with that question. Yes, it would be worse. She’d accepted Owen’s proposal. They were to wed. But was it fair to Owen?

“Oh, for the love of God,” she muttered and pressed her fingers to her aching temples. Was she so pathetic that she would twist the truth to suit her desires? She might be. The thought was not a pleasant one. She doubted she’d even see Nash alone ever again. She could see no reason why she would. It wasn’t as if the chances were high that she’d encounter him in the middle of the night leaving a woman’s house ever again. And who was that woman anyway? Tomorrow Lilias would—

No! No! She would not play the sleuth where Nash was concerned. It was none of her business, even if her heart wished otherwise.
