Ethan climbed into Barrett’s carriage with him. Barrett knew another lecture was coming his way. It had been completely outrageous that he had shown up at the picnic uninvited. Though Stanford didn’t seem to notice. It had been even more outrageous that he had kissed Piper. He didn’t have a right to be jealous. Piper was correct on that front, but he couldn’t seem to help himself.

He ran his fingers through his hair. Maybe he should return home. Settle into the title and take a wife. Perhaps if they both moved on, he could forget her.

“I’m getting married.” Ethan’s words broke him out of his thoughts.

“Congratulations.” Barrett reached over a shook his friend’s hand.

“Thank you. We have a few details we will have to work out. The first is our business. I will have to spend at least part of the year in England. Sybil has duties there.” Ethan was giving Barrett a level stare. Barrett had to appreciate his friend. Ethan could match him in intensity when it was required.

“We already do business in Europe. This is an opportunity to expand. Perhaps we can slowly transition our base to England for both of us.” Barrett returned his friend’s stare. This couldn’t be why Ethan was being so cryptic.

“There is something else. You and I are partners and Sybil and Piper are cousins. Is that going to be a problem?” Ethan leaned forward, his eyes even more intense.

“Why would it be a problem?” Barrett shrugged.

“You’ve made it clear you won’t marry her. She will marry someone else. You will marry someone else. Because you are both so close to Sybil and me, you will have to socialize with Piper and her husband on occasion.” Ethan sat back in his seat.

Barrett felt like a weight had been dropped on his chest. The thought of another man touching Piper, holding her hand, putting his arm around her waist, it was more than he could bear. “Bloody hell,” he muttered. He squeezed his eyes tight.

“When I saw you kissing her at your house last week, I knew you were mad for her. But when I saw you massage her head today…my friend, you are completely and utterly in love. You touch her like she is the most precious thing in the world. I already told you my thoughts on your relationship with Piper but I know how I feel about Sybil. I can’t believe you are going to give that up.” Ethan’s voice was quiet.

Barrett didn’t respond. He stared out the window. His entire body was clenched into a knot. He wanted to fight with someone. The faceless man who took Piper to bed was the most likely candidate.

His carriage pulled up to his home. He turned to Ethan who was still staring at him and probably had been this entire time. “I’d like to be alone,” he grunted.

“Do you mind if your driver drops me back at Sybil’s? I left my carriage there.” Barrett nodded. Ethan could have had his carriage follow them.
