Chapter Nineteen

Jason didn’t breathe as he watched her.

Georgiana’s hand was still in his, her fingers slightly cool but steady enough that he thought—just maybe—she wasn’t going to run again.

Her gaze darted between his face and the door, then back to his face, as though weighing all her options one last time.

The silence stretched out between them, broken only by the faint ticking of the clock on the mantel.

And then…

“All right,” she murmured at last, her voice so quiet he almost didn’t catch it.

His chest loosened all at once, though he didn’t dare let it show. “You’re saying yes?” he asked carefully.

She let out a long breath and nodded, her lips pressed into a thin line. “Yes,” she said more firmly. “But we must marry tonight. I will not go back home with my family.”

Jason closed his eyes for half a second, letting the tension drain from his shoulders before he rose to his feet and offered her his hand.

“Then let’s get this done,” he said. He wanted to add “before anyone comes to their senses,” but thought better of it.

Her mouth quirked, though she didn’t say anything. “Stay here,” he said. “I’ll send up a maid with some clothes and food while I take care of your family.”

A look of utter relief passed over her face, but Georgiana only nodded.
