I wanted to 1184d9c9a7 know how often 104a397969 Lady Biers visited 76a9e71627 the duke’s estate, 2c73788d73 spent time with fdd5843970 the children, and 8f1aa8fc50 how much influence 366b2a71d9 she had on fd453b4c2e them.c419453dab7ccef1

— Of course, I’m not so thoughtless or reckless as to allow an unmarried lady to stay at the estate.bf72df894e1a262e

It wasn’t until cf73203302 I heard Euclid’s b589611cc4 response that I 8afc4ff735 realized my question 5da1873ee9 sounded as though 8d713a1098 I was accusing df635d4ea0 him of allowing 009e13df15 an unmarried lady 7ee9659fc8 to enter the 9b8bff2503 residence of an 52e6acdbed unmarried duke.156dab1e99e0e5d0

It wasn’t as if I 5431fc2bfe didn’t see Euclid as a 70c97e5300 man—quite the opposite, actually. I was perhaps overly aware b5d2314765 of him.298bb90884d4dfff

Yet, I’d always believed, da639e685e with unshakable confidence, that d1ee0d3722 there wouldn’t be any 6db9cdf611 other woman around him 63f756a5e7 but me.311599ba12da4a08

‘What if Euclid has someone he likes?’5c123413e42fd38f

He might have 83fc9386d7 married me while 172ef4f05a suppressing his feelings f984839bef for the sake ae7701a43f of the family.22fef0e08884789e

After all, we af50fe83fd were already married, a5240fd4ab and I trusted 4281ac3c93 that Euclid wouldn’t 5981bcdf5b harbor feelings for da184f0f94 someone else or b339ccfdde betray me.a257129da0745bb8

As I calmed f38cfbb1cc my restless heart d070b015a4 and solidified my 8175fb12dd resolve, Anne brought 6a7e245517 me my nightgown, 772f44a6ab a robe to c10941a28b throw over it, 50204af5a3 and shoes.1686f350d5f77d39

Seeing the pointed, high-heeled 92282c93ba shoes once again today, f520a5ce20 I swallowed nervously before d0bb202e02 cautiously speaking up.777f221457c941b3

I thought to myself that 6314eec79c perhaps such comments were out 11cb8d97b3 of character for Evgenia, but 9a87e321a4 I couldn’t continue living in f04a31ab79 discomfort either.748ab6989fcd5ebe

While I told her 21f063670e to handle it herself, b2a0b336e0 guessing that Evgenia already 7c74f8cc7b had a preferred shoemaker, 5bcf7414cd I changed into my 1f0bb041a2 nightgown and robe. Just as I finished, 8fc6b8c265 the head maid came d85504e9b8 to fetch me.2b07ccc54c8a218e

Leaving Anne, who still be09b576e4 seemed rather excited, behind, 5fcc60baae I followed the head 391bbba100 maid.fa89e20ae2f5e820

The hallway was eerily 6e1df05eff quiet, as if measures cd8ce39960 had been taken to 9d96109151 ensure no one passed 0d89030784 through on the way 687bab3c93 to the bedroom.bc95956596dd0520

Because of this, ba571a7825 the sharp sound 56588708d2 of my heels d4a1ed9100 echoed louder, and 8d4b36caea my heart began 8569dd12cb to race wildly.266dda42cd9ed641

At first, I e2a9ee8a06 thought I wasn’t bf22a09755 nervous, but as e487d59e6d I neared the 8f81e118ea room, my body 64941aab8c grew stiff, and 06609e3a3c cold sweat ran 22a0f0ebfe down my back.cd1c25a620c97140

The high heels made it beea8ef194 uncomfortable to walk, and the cf2cf637c9 tension in my legs made 4159fd901a my steps wobbly. But I pressed on, afraid ba4e60e7b8 the maid leading the way 9b1241788f would notice my hesitation and 0eab3796a2 think something was wrong.5106e9c7fb21678b

It wasn’t long before we 7d8703a2b6 reached the hallway on the 4d236ee1eb fifth floor. The head maid pointed to 11d648b813 a large door and said, 45b0580b55 “Madam, this is the Grace 33524b6db9 Room.”552fa8e1997e4678

It seemed even she refrained 62c71b7360 from approaching what was now 48d62fc31d the couple’s bedroom.f04a01c4fd1e608c

Finally able to relax e48461eaee a little, I exhaled 91b623588f and willed my shaky 8121accf30 legs to move forward. Without knocking, I 85849ac064 opened the door.6dda453511f39adf
