Chapter Nine

Ana wished she could leave and return to London immediately to get away from all the chaos. However, she was determined not to take the cowardly way out. Ana and Eliza went to the library to get a book. She wanted to read in an effort to take her mind off all her troubles. Eliza opted to pick out a book and read in her room alone. Ana stayed in the library by the fire where it was cozy and peaceful. Ana nearly knocked the books off the shelf when Jordan startled her.

“Nasty temper Sarah has,” Jordan said as she was reaching for a book. Jordan came over and helped her pull it down from the shelf.

“She has always been that way, Jordan,” she said as if he did not know. He smiled showing his humor in the situation.

“I agree with you. You have to admit it was rather humorous watching someone throw a fit in front of everyone,” he said. She laughed and agreed with him. "Don't let her run you off. She embarrassed herself rather badly tonight," Jordan continued.

"At least Jake knows I wasn't the one who ruined dinner. You should have seen her face when she realized Jake had come into the room during her tantrum," he laughed. Ana's eyes laughed until tears were pouring from her eyes. They talked for a while and she was surprised to see how alike the two brothers were.

“It is getting late, so I am off to bed. Tomorrow will be a long day. Hang in there, dear,” he said. Jordan got up and stretched, stirred up the fire and then he bid her goodnight. She was too excited for going to sleep, so she decided to stay up and read. Everyone would be in bed by now, so it would not hurt for her to stay here. She got comfortable on the couch and started reading a Shakespearian play.
