Seven

Eggs.

A cake needed eggs.

Cinnamon stared at the pans of flat, gloppy goo and her shoulders drooped. Why couldn’t she get this right?

Lord Westfield was expected tomorrow afternoon. She’d spent the entire morning in the kitchen, working hard, only to pull from the oven another failure. Was it too much to expect that she could bake a simple cake?

Her gaze was drawn to the basket of eggs on the table. They were right there. Why hadn’t she added them to the batter?

“Oh, for heaven’s sake,” she muttered, whipping off her apron and tossing it to the brick floor. This was becoming ridiculous. She had an idea that she knew what the problem was—or at least what she’d been thinking about while she should have been beating eggs. Ian McGregger.

She stomped out of the kitchen. She couldn’t keep him out of her mind, and she couldn’t stop thinking of the kiss. But there was more. She hadn’t followed through on what she said she’d do.

He’d asked for her help, her advice, and she’d agreed. She’d even decided to tell him she thought her father very clever to have picked him to run the business. Captain McGregger was perfect.

Then came that kiss. The second kiss. And because of her silly female foolishness, which she had always prided herself on not having, she had been unable to do what was best for Murphy Import and Export. For a week now she had vacillated, unable even to face the captain.

Now in her room, she sighed, then sank onto the bench in front of her dressing table. Her elbows on the polished surface, she cupped her cheeks, staring into the looking glass.

After dinner tonight she would tell the captain that he must accept her father’s offer, and this would be the last time she saw him before Lord Westfield’s arrival.
