Just One Kiss Away – Eileen Dreyer (1)

“Miss…” She just stood there. “His heart, miss. He had an episode, which is why he came home from St. Petersburg without her ladyship. Although she just got here as well.” Which seemed to distress him most of all. “That will be a reunion I’d like to see for sure.” Pip looked around. “My mother is here?” “Not here precisely, miss.” Pip couldn’t remember the last time she had lost patience with Soames. He was a very proper butler, but one who always anticipated every need and eased every way.

Except now. His brow was furrowed like a potato patch. “Would you like some tea, maybe, miss?” “I am not in the mood for guessing games, Soames,” she said, hands on hips. “Which is why I am convinced you’re about to tell me exactly where my parents are, and what the story is about my father’s heart.

I am not budging until you do.” He looked around, obviously hating to have this conversation in the entryway. “Maybe they would like to tell you, miss. I can tell you where they both are.” “That,” Pip said with immense patience, “would be lovely. And just to keep all the information straight, Soames. I am no longer a miss. I am a ladyship. Lady Drummond to be precise.” Smiling, she held up her left hand to show him her ring.

He gaped. There had been a lot of that around her lately. “Our heartiest congratulations, mi…er, milady.” “And where can milady find her parents, Soames?” “At Lord Drake’s, milady.” Ah. Rake business. “My mother as well?” she asked. When he nodded, so did she. “I need a carriage, Soames,” she said and reached for the hat she had just handed to him.

“Joyful, are you coming along?” “Wouldn’t miss this f’r all the cotton in Georgia.” OceanofPDF.com Pip’s reunion with her family was chaotic to say the least.
