Spencer groaned, then looked William straight in the eye; his anguish and frustration were clearly visible.

“Don’t you think I can see that every time she talks about him or, better yet, sees him? I’m trying not to harbor any delusions that she’ll turn that love toward me. But know this––I’m not stupid.” Spencer’s body shook with emotion from the inside out, not missing any muscle or tendon. He would not be surprised if William felt the vibration. It seemed to Spencer he shook the whole carriage.

When had he fallen so deeply in love with Bella? And why had he allowed himself that torture, knowing that his love would never be returned? He was a thirty-six-year-old, in love with a duke’s sister, who fancied herself in love with another. Could life be any more pathetic?

He looked at William across the seat from him. Yes, it could be more pathetic; he could be his cousin. Poor William, first in love with his brother’s wife, then keeper of his brother’s secrets, and now setting himself up for heartache once again. Did a more miserable gentleman exist anywhere in this vast world? And to top off William’s humiliation, he was being unfairly snubbed by the ton.

Spencer had resigned himself a long time ago to being a bachelor––until he saw Isabella. After witnessing the tragic events that love caused his cousins to experience, he thought he would never set himself up for that kind of pain. Even if it meant living life alone, living without love. “Enough maudlin thoughts,” Spencer mumbled, then coughed to hide it. “Since we’ve no plans for this evening, do you have any objections to visiting Brooks?”

“Splendid idea. I can think of nothing I’d enjoy better than to be given the cut by every gentleman there.” William tapped the top of the carriage, signaling the driving.

“To Brooks, Arthur, my good man.”

“You know, you could be a bit more optimistic and pleasant,” Spencer remarked.
