The next morning was bittersweet. The sun shone, and the sky was a cloudless blue. Maeve was in high spirits, but pouting that her friend had to leave. Just as the tears were starting, Little Bit saved the day. The terrier came wagging up to his new charge, tugging on the hem of her dress with his teeth. The peal of giggles was instant, and off she went, chasing the dog.

“I’m so easily replaced,” cried Lord Griffith, his hand at his chest. “Beware the fickle female.”

“Not all of us are so easily distracted, my lord.”

“No.” He turned to her, the rein in his hand. His driver had left with the coach already, knowing his lord would catch up easily on horseback. “I need you to promise me something.” His tone was serious, and he caught her in a direct gaze.

“Yes?”

“If you need anything—anything—do not hesitate to write. I’ve given you my address.” He mounted his horse, swinging his powerful leg over the saddle, and tipped his hat. “Do I have your word?”

“On my honor!” She placed her hand over her heart. “I swear.”

“Then I shall leave you in good conscience, my lady. Until we meet again.”

He gave the horse a light kick with his heels, and it took off in a trot. She watched him all the way down the drive and through the gates, feeling a loss as he disappeared from sight.

Nothing like the present, she thought as she headed to the parlor. She would write a letter and let her family know she would not attend the wedding. It would be mid-August before they returned. That gave her plenty of time to put on some weight and prepare for their reunion. Her words would be calm and practiced by then.
