He felt everyone’s eyes on him while his own vision swam. Never in his life had he found it so hard to make a decision. Thank God he wasn’t on a battlefield with the enemy bearing down . . . although, given the antagonistic mood of some of those around him, that analogy wasn’t so far off.
Rachael stepped close and laid a hand on his shoulder, drawing him away and down the corridor. The guests all turned to watch as she walked him to the end so they wouldn’t be able to overhear.
“Your first instinct was good,” she said quietly. “Let her marry the man she loves.”
His gaze flicked to the curious onlookers. “But—”
“I, too, once thought this union inadvisable. But now that I’ve seen them together—”
“What they feel for each other has little bearing on the repercussions of this match.”
“Have faith in her. She has faith in him.”
Griffin had faith in Tristan, too—but that wasn’t the point. “The ton doesn’t mirror that faith.”
“Will you allow that to influence your decision? That isn’t the Griffin I remember. The one I imagined riding into battle with his principles held before him like a shield.”
That idealistic youth, Griffin feared, was long gone. He stared at her. “You never thought of me that way. You thought I was a reckless rascal.”
“Perhaps. I do recall you once telling me to ask for forgiveness, not for permission. But you were also stubborn as hell. You never let anyone else’s opinions stand in the way of your goals.”
His gaze swept the assembled guests, landing on the odious Lady St. Quentin. He could see her straining to hear.
Damnation. Rachael was right. He was not going to let that despicable, fortune-hunting woman decide his sister’s fate. He could not consign Alexandra to a life of utter misery, even to save the rest of them from suffering society’s disfavor. Not and live with himself, anyway.
