Logan watched as Sutton danced with numerous partners, each of them barely giving her the time to catch her breath before they whisked her off for another turn about the ballroom floor.

He sipped his wine, knowing that no matter their past, Sutton was still one of the most handsome women he knew and one of the most amusing too. A niggle of panic crawled along his spine at the thought that one of the numerous men asking her to dance would turn into her husband at the end of the Season.

The thought of her married to another, forever lost to him, was not something he had contemplated. Had not allowed himself to dwell on when he had left London six years ago to care for his ailing father. His annoyance, his anger at her disbelieving him, had stopped him from lingering on her and what he had lost too much.

But now, with her before him, with a truce of sorts between them, that option was no longer available to him. She would be at most balls and parties he attended. He would see the growing attraction and courting that would occur once she found a gentleman who sparked her interest.

That gentleman would not be him.

He was not certain he had the stomach for such a realization.

"What is going on between you and my sister? You seem to be on speaking terms once again. I did not think you accepted my offer of friendship," Malcolm Howard stated at his side as he too came to watch the ton at play.

"I did not accept your offer of friendship. The offer from your sister was, however, accepted. If only to prove to her that she knows the truth. And that you are indeed announced the villain in her story and near ruination in society."

"She will never believe you," Malcolm spat, two red dots forming on his cheeks. "I am her brother, and she loves me. You are nothing but a bad memory who left her in London for six years. She will never forgive you."

"Maybe not," Logan stated matter-of-fact. "But that does not mean I will not try to prove my innocence. She deserves to know it was her sibling's ridiculousness that caused her so much pain. Not me."

Malcolm narrowed his eyes, checking on the whereabouts of his sister before he said, "Why do you wish to cause strife after so many years? Can you not leave the past and what happened where it is, so my sister is not devastated a second time?"

"By a thief and liar, similar traits that killed your parents. I know she will be heartbroken to know that her brother had fallen into the same category, but it is for the best. Now that Sutton is older, she will eventually forgive you. Of course, it would have been difficult when she was so much younger, with less life experience, the death of your parents so much fresher, but that is no longer the case. You should not have allowed your friend, her one prospect for a match, to take your fall or continue to do so.
