As he spoke the last few lines, it seemed as though only he and Sabrina were left in the room together. Something powerful was building between them, and the flush of her skin matched the warmth of his own.

There was a long moment of silence before Zehra spoke up. “My lord, that was lovely.” The other women were all in agreement, though most of the gentlemen looked bored. Lord Lonsdale was already asleep in a chair, and one of the ladies nearest him prodded him into waking up. He shook himself and realized Peregrine had finished.

“I say, well done, Rutland. Didn’t know you could sing like that. Excellent voice.” Lonsdale clapped a few times, and a few of the women stifled giggles.

“Charles,” Lysandra hissed. “He didn’t sing—he recited poetry.”

“Oh, right.” Lonsdale looked back at Peregrine with a sardonic smile and a shrug. Peregrine sighed. When he looked back toward the corner of the room, he found Sabrina had gone. His heart sank. She hadn’t stayed. He thought of the books he wanted to give to her. He could not chase her down now—everyone would know they were gone, and that would only put her reputation more at risk.
