Chapter Six

‘Julia?’

She stared at Giles blankly across the breakfast table.

‘You have just dropped your toast into your tea.’

‘I—Oh, goodness, so I did. I was momentarily distracted.’ As she mopped at the pool of liquid with her napkin she looked more than distracted, she looked positively distressed.

Which is all my fault, Giles thought bitterly as he got up to fetch a cloth from the sink.

For the moment, the other women had all their attention on the baby, who was gurgling and kicking in what was clearly considered to be an endearing manner.

He sat down and handed the cloth across the table to Julia, who took it with a muttered word of thanks and without meeting his eye. Which was not surprising. Now she was wide awake he was amazed she hadn’t hurled a teapot at his head. Or perhaps she was trying to behave as normal because she did not want to alert her neighbours to what had just happened. Almost happened.

You, sir, are no gentleman.

The words stung and he knew they were justified. He had found himself in bed with a virgin and protesting that he was half-awake was absolutely no excuse. Arguing that she had been willing was even less of one.
