Chapter 7:

Earl Roseblade

THE FOLLOWING DAY, our whole family gathered in one of the castle’s many drawing rooms. We circled around Nicks, who sat on one of the sofas with his head in his hands.

“Nicks, what were you thinking, putting your arms around an unmarried girl like that?!” Dad demanded. He hadn’t stopped panicking over the situation. My brother’s actions would have been fine had this been some ordinary girl, but this girl was an earl’s daughter. An unmarried earl’s daughter, as my dad had pointed out.

“It wasn’t like what you’re thinking,” Nicks swore to us. “I just couldn’t leave her be, not when she was so sad. And she looked so beautiful last night.”

His justification was that she’d looked too weak and vulnerable for him not to act. Unsurprisingly, the family looked at him with cold reproach.

“I’ll bet it was all calculated,” Jenna said.

Finley nodded. “Yeah, I can totally see that. Get the mood just right, and you’ve got victory in the palm of your hand.”

They both seemed convinced that Nicks had fallen for Miss Dorothea’s trap. After all, Nicks was in no position to easily approach the earl’s daughter under normal circumstances.

“Now that I look back on it,” Jenna said, “there were a bunch of things that seemed unnatural about last night.”

Nicks jerked his head up. “If you knew something was afoot, you could’ve told me!”

“As if I’ve got any interest in your lousy love life. Anyway, how come the men in our family are so popular? Leon was one thing, but now it turns out Nicks is in the same boat. Is there just, like, something about you two that magnetizes women from the upper crust or something?”

Finley plopped down on the couch. She studied Colin, her head cocked. “I guess we should expect Colin to get hitched to some high-class girl too, huh?”

“M-me, get married? N-no way.”

Seeing how flustered the very suggestion made Colin drove Finley to tease him some more. She slid closer to him and prodded the tip of his nose. “Nah, that’d never happen for a little kid like you. You’re such a spineless little wimp, always hiding behind Noelle’s back.”

“Am not!”

Their conversation threatened to devolve into a petty spat, so our mom pulled them apart. “We’re guests here, don’t you dare start fighting. Honestly! Why are our children so unruly?”

Finley began sulking.

“You’re as much of a kid as he is, picking fights like that,” Jenna said with a snicker.

“Proves I’m still young. Unlike you,” Finley sniped back.

“What’d you just say?!”

“Only the truth! Remember yesterday? The second you said you were fresh out of graduation, all the guys left. Meanwhile, there were some super-hot guys who knew I hadn’t attended the academy yet. They still stuck around to talk to me.”

“I-If they’re myopic enough to choose a kid like you over me, then they’ve got no taste.”

“I think it’s the opposite,” Finley countered. “They know there’s no hope for the future if they pick you, so they’ve got enough sense to pick someone like me who’s got future promise.
