Lord of Secrets_A Historical Regency Romance Novel
Page 25
He frowned. “What are you—”
She pointed toward the door. His family was just entering the gallery.
Camellia and her husband, Dahlia and hers, Bryony. Their mother. And beside her…
His heart leaped in shock. “My father is here?”
Nora squeezed his hand.
Heath stared in disbelief and hope.
His father had received the invitation. He had come.
When their eyes met through the crowd, the baron nodded his head gruffly and pointed to his lapel. A pink rose bloomed from his breast pocket. Heath’s breath caught.
Father had not been forced to attend the grand opening. He had chosen to show his support of the gallery and his pride in his son.
Heath’s head spun.
“You did this?” he whispered to his wife.
She pressed her palm to his cheek and gestured at the gallery. “You did this, my love.”
“We did this.” He swept her into his arms in elation.
“Stop that,” she giggled. “You’ll cause a scandal.”
“Let them talk,” Heath said, and lowered his head for a kiss.
