Grayson scanned the crowd, noting how many pairs of eyes were following his every move. He, too, had read the society pages after last evening's course of events, frustrated that a moment of unfocused attention when he flippantly blurted out a ridiculous wager could have such an impact on his life.

“I believe you are the most notorious member of the ton tonight, Grayson,” Harrison remarked as they stood near the dance floor. “Perhaps you should do something scandalous more often. I am quite enjoying your disrepute.” He smirked, clearly enjoying the Duke’s discomfort.

“I do not know why we are friends,” Grayson responded, mildly annoyed that his friend seemed to enjoy his unease. He searched the crowd hoping to discover a familiar face. She had to have heard about the bet between himself and the Baron, and he did not think she would be one to shy away from idle gossip. At the very least, he had expected her to confront him, yet she was nowhere to be found.

“We are friends because currently, old boy, no one else wants to be associated with you,” Harrison said dryly, slapping him on the back. “So, who will be the lucky woman tonight that gets a dance with the infamous Duke of Montrose?”

Grayson clenched his jaw and looked about the crowd, noting how everyone was glowering at him tonight. Damn the Baron and his hide. This unexpected turn of events had proven to be an unfortunate lapse of judgement on Grayson’s part. Not that he cared what the ton thought of him. What he did care about was the young woman who he could not get off his mind and any anguish he may have caused her from his insensitive actions.

“I will dance with no one tonight,” he finally declared, stalking out of the hall and into the cold, dark night.
