THE NEXT DAY, PRISCILLA’S ankle felt much better. The dowager had her physician take a look at the injury, and he concluded the same thing Priscilla thought. It was a sprain. Thankfully, just as Gavin had suggested, the dowager understood and allowed her to rest her foot. However, Priscilla was tired of being in her room.

She stepped lightly on her ankle as she walked out of her room and down the stairs. Her heart had lightened considerably thanks to her time spent alone, and especially because she hadn’t seen Gavin since they’d left the coach. She had a pleasant visit with the dowager duchess, and Priscilla thanked the stars in the heavens that she hadn’t come across Gavin.

His handsome face hadn’t left her mind, which was frustrating for her, especially after she’d gone to bed last night. All she dreamt about all night was kissing him. And yet, the way her heart now skipped excitedly, made her wonder if that had been a dream after all. It had seemed so real. Even now she could still feel his gentle lips on hers, taunting and reminding her how wonderful it had felt.

Could he have kissed her when they had cuddled on the sofa yesterday? They’d both fallen asleep, but what if he had awakened and taken advantage of her? But for some reason, her heart told her that she had participated and enjoyed every second of his teaching.

She fisted her hands and grumbled. Why couldn’t she just let this go? If they had kissed, she would surely have remembered something that melted her heart and made her breathless. It was not as though she had much kissing experience, either.

Touching her finger to her lips, an image resurfaced. In her memory, he’d had that ridiculous pink and green blanket wrapped around his shoulders. His smoldering gaze had beckoned her. She could see his neck, and wondered what it would feel like to touch it. But to keep herself from caressing his skin, she threaded her fingers through his hair – hair tousled and soft. He’d kissed her so very gently, but soon passion had crept into her body and he’d deepened the kiss. Urgency had swept over her, and she had wanted more. And yet... she was satisfied in knowing that he’d wanted to kiss her and excite her just as much.

Oh, heavens! It felt so real.

The first thing she did was check on the dowager. Her Grace was resting in her room and didn’t want to be disturbed, so the maid told Priscilla. Disappointed, she wandered down the stairs. Reading a good book would be nice, but then she’d only think about that time when she and Gavin were in the dark...

Her heart did a silly flip-flop. No, the library was out of the question.

She stopped at the music room. Playing always calmed her, and the dowager did tell her she could play any time she wanted.

Before she knew it, she was sitting behind the pianoforte and her fingers were stroking the keys in one of her favorite tunes.
