Thirty-Four

Romeo snorted as Louisa pulled the saddle from his back and heaved it onto the rack inside the stable. She looked into the yard and saw Talbot on the back doorstep, fashionably dressed in an expensive suit, looking around the yard as if he were lost.

She stopped and watched him and wanted to run. She wanted to leap onto Romeo’s bare back and ride up the trail to find Luc. She would admit that she had been wrong and tell him that, no matter what she had said, she needed him to forgive her. She would scream out that she was in love with him and that she’d do anything to make things right. But it was too late and now everything was a mess. She’d said hateful things to him and he had turned away. He was a kind man and she was an evil shrew. She was completely in love with him but she had ruined it all.

Even if she did run back to him it wouldn’t change anything. He wasn’t in love with her. Why should he be? Louisa was miserable. As she watched, Talbot went back inside. She stepped out into the yard and looked up at the house.

Now there was Talbot. He had told her just the night before how much he was in love with her. He treated her like a queen and she had led him on like a fraud. She was not in love with Talbot Sunderland. She never had been. Louisa rubbed her temples.

“Now what?” she asked herself. “Luc doesn’t want me and I don’t blame him at all. I have to go back to New York and finish this book. I’ve made a promise to Talbot and he has made a huge investment in me. That’s the right thing to do.”

Louisa squared her shoulders. She didn’t know how she would deal with Talbot but she would at least meet her commitment to him to finish her book. The rest she would figure out as she went along. She looked up at the trail where she had been with Luc.

“I’m such a fool,” she said and walked to the house. “I don’t deserve the dragon watching over me.”
