ROSA WASN’T SURE HOW SHE felt about spending the next few days with Teddy close by. While they’d only spent one day apart, the letter from Nathan had come as a welcome surprise. But she didn’t fail to notice the tension surrounding Teddy since he’d told her about Daniel. He was hiding something from her. But what? Had her brother found more trouble than he could handle this time? She supposed she would find out soon enough.

“I know this isn’t the best time to discuss this,” Teddy said, “but we have nothing but open roads for another three hours. Have you put any thought into staying on with me?”

In truth, that was all she had thought about since leaving his residence. And still, she had no answers where he was concerned. “We have both met our ends of the deal, now that Daniel is found.”

“I don’t care about the bloody deal, Rosa. I missed you after only a few hours. Don’t tell me the feeling wasn’t mutual.”

She continued tracing her finger over the cold glass of the window wondering what the scenery looked like. She wanted Teddy’s arms around her so badly.

“We hardly know each other.”

“So what’s to stop us from getting to know each other better?” His tone was derisive.

She heard his frustrated sigh and hoped he was done discussing the matter. “We’ll be in Maidstone for a few days, so we have nothing but time to talk then.” When she could easily put distance between them. In the carriage that was impossible.

They didn’t talk for the remainder of the ride, which meant Rosa was left to her thoughts.

So many conflicting feelings and thoughts tumbled around in her mind. This would be the first time Daniel would have seen her in nearly a decade. She wasn’t sure how their first meeting would go, if he would hate her, or be happy to see her after her long absence from his life.

When her thoughts weren’t wrapped around meeting her brother she thought of Teddy. Once he played at the Hanover Square Rooms he would be called on to write more music, to play more concert halls, to travel Europe to display his talents to everyone of importance.

That was the life he was destined for and she couldn’t be happier for him. But her? She would never be able to face the people from her old life. She’d be shunned and turned away and that would only break her heart all over again. Leaving him was breaking her heart, but there was no other choice for them.

Finally, the carriage pulled to a stop. As the door opened, Rosa heard Nathan’s familiar voice.

“How are you, darling?” Nathan took her hand and helped her down the steps. When she was on solid ground he embraced her in a hug, which was not something he usually did.

“What’s all this about?” she asked as he set her back down on her feet.

“I know I should have explained everything better in my note to you, but I didn’t want you to be concerned should your brother’s condition improve, which it has.
