by Sophia James
‘Yes. I can’t think what the matter could be.’
He paused, stilling in his work of settling her into the saddle. ‘Can you not?’
‘Why, no. Something I ate, perhaps.’
Sophia couldn’t see his face as he ducked down to tighten the girth, but his voice sounded suddenly strange, cautious yet with a note of suppressed excitement that made her wonder. ‘Did your mother never teach you…?’
‘Teach me what? Unless it was how to think myself a failure, the answer is no.’
Fell reappeared and stood looking up at her seated high above him on Bess’s broad back. Such pride and tenderness kindled in his face it warmed Sophia right down to her toes and, when he hefted himself up into the saddle behind her and wrapped her in his arms, she knew life would never be as wonderful as at that very moment…
…or so she thought.
‘I think you ought to speak with Ma, tell her the nature of your symptoms. I believe you might hear some news that will make us very happy indeed.’
‘Whatever can you mean?’
‘You’ll see. Out of interest, what title is given to a viscount’s heir?’
