Simply follow Dobbs out to the entry and pretend as if nothing is amiss. If Evesham chooses to remember how I unabashedly threw myself at him, I will play the innocent and aloof widow and move on to a more appropriate topic.

Before stepping through the corridor, Georgiana took a deep breath. With luck, one of her letters would be successful and then she’d flee back to Thetford posthaste. There she’d forget about dukes and courting and kisses in dimly lit carriages in the middle of the night.

By the time Georgiana reached the entry, she’d nearly built a wall of brick around her resolve. But after taking one look at Evesham’s intense amber eyes, all the stones crumbled away.

“Madam.” He held out a bouquet of pink roses. “I see you are ready for our stroll.”

“Stroll?” she asked, taking the flowers while her entire body felt as if it had begun to levitate. Dash it, if she weren’t a grown woman, she might actually be smitten. She drew the roses to her nose and inhaled. “These are lovely, thank you.”

He winked. “They suit your coloring, madam, reminiscent of last night’s stunning ensemble, I might add.”

By the heat spreading across her face, red might have been a better descriptor of her complexion. “A-are you certain you want to trouble?”

“I hear there is a fine orchestra playing at Vauxhall today. I thought it would be pleasant to stroll through the gardens and then enjoy a bite while we listen to the performance.”

Georgiana glanced toward the parlor. What else was there to do? She’d written her letters. Why not enjoy the day out of doors, doing something enjoyable? “That does sound diverting.” She craned her neck to peer out to the street. “Did you bring your phaeton, perchance?”

“I did.”

Thank God. Who knew what tricks her misbehaving heart might play if they were inside an enclosed carriage.

“Very well.” She bowed her head. “Allow me to arrange for these to be put into a vase and collect my things, and I’ll attend you shortly.”
