“Miss Busche!”

“Hush, Severidge.” Coralie stepped through the front entrance, pushing past the butler, and handed the damp cloak back outside to the waiting footman. With the best composure she could manage, she looked into those pale eyes and said, “Please thank Lady Gower again for me. Her kindness in ensuring I arrived home safely is very much appreciated. Do please tell her.”

The footman bowed, perfectly correct. The rain splattered on the pavement behind him. The liveried coat couldn’t get any wetter. “I will, miss. Good night, and we hope you’re better soon.”

His gaze held hers, unrelenting, until Severidge closed the door between them.

“Coralie, dear?” Mrs. Lacey’s trembling voice, from the top of the stairs. “Goodness, you’re home early. Is something wrong?”

And the tears returned, tightening her throat. Coralie felt her face ripple beneath their threat. She gathered her skirts and ran up the stairs, away from Severidge’s questioning stare and into Mrs. Lacey’s open arms as her self-control broke.
