The Earl’s New Identity (The Regency Renegades - Beauty and Titles) (A Regency Romance Story)
Page 9
“It means they are coming into port like they are going to war.” He watched the ship half longingly, through the crowds of a busy city center. It had been a long time since he was the middle of the hustle and bustle of so many people. When he was sailing, he came down here to load or unload. When he was at home, he was mostly at the Manor. And since he was put on sick leave, he hadn't been much of anywhere.
Aside from that, the harbor had some bad memories from his childhood that he didn't like to relive. Loading and unloading was fine, but hanging around was not how he chose to spend his free time.
“Are you alright?” Annabelle asked, and he nodded. She had been asking him that pretty much constantly since he had began to recover. Normally, it didn't bother him at all, but that was because she was inquiring about his physical health. She knew why he didn't like hanging around the docks, though, and she was inquiring about his mental health.
“Of course,” he said as the gang plank came down. “Look, there's your fiancé.”
As the lieutenants were directly under the captain, they were the second off the ship. Harold came down the gangplank to supervise the docking procedure, his mind always on work. He couldn't help, however, but glance over to Annabelle with a wide smile.
“You should kiss him,” Aaron said to his sister. “Interrupt his process.”
“That's not proper,” Annabelle replied, although she had a wide grin on her face.
Suddenly, a carriage pulled up behind them, a flurry of horses coming to a halt.
“I'm here. Did I miss it?” came a voice and Aaron burst out laughing as he turned around.
“Lola, you didn't miss them. How do you miss a giant ship docked right in front of you?”
“Sorry,” Lola, in the sunlight, had stage makeup on, prepared to run off to the theatre for the matinee at the last minute. “I heard they docked and I ran.”
“Did you leave some poor costume mistress in wonder?” Aaron glanced up at the sky. “It is only noon, you have time.”
She was staying with the two of them whenever she toured through London, which was often given the fact that it was a main city. Since Aaron had fallen ill, she had tried to get shows in the city more often than not. She toured and Wesley sailed, which promised for a difficult future if they didn't want to give up their careers. Nevertheless, for now, they both seemed happy.
“Depends on how long I want to greet my fiancé,” she said. She wasn't wearing her ring, but he had given her his signet ring from when he was an Earl. Aaron thought it was the perfect love story for the girl he had known since they were children.
Wesley came off the ship then, looking back over his shoulder.
“Why are you cleared for action?” Aaron yelled, to get his attention, and Wesley's head spun toward them.
That was when he noticed Lola, and anything else he had on his mind was lost. She flew toward him.
Annabelle took that as her cue to go to Harold, and Aaron stood alone at the carriage. He didn't mind so much; he had long since decided that he wouldn't have the happiness his friends had. Love was for them, but it wasn't for him, and that was for one specific reason.
What is that specific reason?
