MacKenzie let his gaze slip back to Penelope the moment she wasn’t looking. He’d never enjoyed attending balls, or any English social function for that matter. Anywhere that his Scottish accent made him stand out like—a smile pulled at his lips—like a gouty toe.

“I presume marriage is treating you kindly,” Kendal drawled.

The earl watched MacKenzie with a bemused expression. He pushed a brandy into MacKenzie’s empty hand.

MacKenzie accepted the drink with thanks. “Why do ye say that?”

“I dare say you were smiling just now,” Kendal offered dryly. “That, and the way your new wife is looking at you at this very moment.”

MacKenzie’s stare flicked back in her direction to find her watching him. She flushed in the lovely way she did and quickly turned away, leaving Kendal chortling into his glass of brandy.

“How did you do it?” Kendal asked with a raised brow. “When she first came out, I think every man in London sought to court her at some point. Except me, of course.” He lifted the corners of his mouth roguishly.

Dancers were beginning to gather on the dance floor for the opening set, the one Penelope had promised to him. “I promised not to love her.”

He pushed his glass back into Kendal’s free hand and ignored his friend’s confused look as he sought out Penelope. She was standing beside her mother and Gemma, both of whom wore gleeful expressions.
