Belle let out a low whistle as I escorted her to one of the fifty or so guest rooms my new home boasted. “Our flat would have inferiority issues if it saw what you left it for.”

I snorted. Belle had been here before for our engagement gala, but then it had been crammed full of guests. Seeing it after hours, when the staff had largely left for their private apartments and the place was empty was a whole other experience. I pivoted around, walking backward and gesturing to the space around us. “This is the aptly named Horse Corridor, because, as you can see, someone liked horses.”

Like most of the house, the corridor skirted a thin line between the garish and the opulent. The walls were papered in crimson damask that matched the curtains and antique divans, but the showstopper was the equine portraiture that decorated the space.

“I imagine I’ll have to take up riding,” I said thoughtfully.

Belle giggled, her eyes darting across the extravagant space. “I thought you already had.”

If only she knew. Thinking back to the ill-fated country weekend I’d spent with Alexander last summer, I remembered just how pleasurable riding could be.

“Your cheeks match the drapery,” Belle continued to tease. “Thank God Alexander is making you an honest woman tomorrow.”

“Follow me,” I said, flourishing my arm toward a long staircase at the end of the corridor. I led her up the stairs, pointing out which rooms would comprise my private quarters as we made our way to the guest room I’d set aside for my best friend’s use.

“I’ll be across the hall,” I said as I showed her inside her room.

“What about your private quarters, Your Highness?” Belle dipped into a curtsy.

“Promise to never do that again,” I groaned and flopped onto her bed, not quite ready to be alone for the night. Butterflies had begun to circle in my stomach, each second that passed ratcheting up the anxious excitement I’d felt since I had woken up this morning. “I’m sleeping across the hall, because I told Alexander he couldn’t see me until morning.”

“Will he survive that long without shagging you?” She raised both her eyebrows and tapped her fingertips together. “Inquiring minds want to know.”

“It’s tradition.”

“One of many,” Belle said as she inspected her surroundings. She drew a manicured fingertip over the top of nightstand. “They must clean all the time. So how do you really feel about your humble abode?”

“It’s…something,” I managed.

“That’s highly complimentary,” she said dryly, dropping onto the bed beside me.

“It’s not mine. Not yet. It might be eventually.” I already missed the house we’d left behind in Notting Hill. Not only because we’d made it our own, but because it had been our first home. “I feel out of place here. In every room some stuffy portrait glares at me and I get lost at least twice a day.”

“You’ll get used to it,” she said, dropping her voice to add, “especially once you start breaking in all the rooms.”

I glanced out her bedroom door to the expansive hall.
