“Not seriously pursuing one at the moment. I’m simply keeping my options open.” His gaze roamed over her bare shoulders. “I sure do appreciate your dress.”

“I believe Charles Worth would shudder if he heard you call it a dress. It’s an evening gown.”

“It suits you.”

“Worth has an uncanny ability to know the style and color that will most flatter a woman. His gowns are considered works of art, and I daresay that he charges enough that they could be framed and hung on walls as such.”

Tom laughed. “Still a bit of country in you, isn’t there, Lauren?”

“I sometimes fear there’s more than a bit.”

“Why does that frighten you?”

“That was simply an expression. I actually hope I’ve retained some of the country. I worry a bit that I won’t fit in when I return to Texas . Wouldn’t that be ironic, to find that I’ve changed so much that I might feel as out of place there as I once felt here?”

“I think if you set your mind to it, you can fit in wherever you want.”

“I can at least give the appearance of fitting in,” she admitted. “Speaking of fitting in, you certainly have adapted well. I don’t think you’re going to need me at all to night.”

“Oh, darlin‘, I need you. Don’t doubt that for a second.”

There was an undercurrent to his words, something more than the idle banter. She wanted to touch his cheek, brush back his hair that had fallen forward. As he continued to swirl her around the room, she became lost in the heat of his dark gaze. She didn’t want to think of him looking at anyone else in quite the same manner as he looked at her: as though she was still his.

The music drifted into silence and quiet murmurs began to take up the space left behind as people started to seek out their next partner. Lauren had never had a chance to dance with Tom in Texas . She was glad that at least she’d leave England having had one dance with him.
