Sophie closed her eyes. She felt the confession pressing in the back of her throat. It was almost as if it were fight- ing to be free, to find its way out of her. She nearly wished it would. If she but parted her lips, she could blurt it all out and then it would be done. Would she be sorry? But she was a coward.<\/p>\n

Her lips pressed tight, and she opened her eyes and smiled at May. “Thank you. I feel the same way about you.” That, at least, was the truth. Gideon lounged in May’s drawing room, submitting him- self to the anxious perusal of his friend Lord Francis Farnsworth. He had felt it only right to accept the man’s call over the others who had left cards and requested vis- its. He supposed he should be flattered that the hellions he ran with were willing to wake at noon, don morning clothes and sit calmly in a lady’s drawing room for his sake, but he could muster surprisingly little enthusiasm for their visits and had, in the past, turned them politely away.<\/p>\n

Farnsworth was different. He had perhaps saved his life and he’d shown good judgment in bringing him here. It had been out of character. The man was the type who took his cues from others, but he had been surprisingly decisive when the situation had deteriorated. Gideon supposed he owed him something, and for this reason had consented to see him, but had no more enthusiasm for it than he did for the others. “They don’t look bad, not bad at all,” Farnsworth pro- nounced with forced cheer as he peered closely at the scars.<\/p>\n

“That patch will have the ladies swooning. By God, you’ll be good as new in a few weeks, and I daresay up to your old tricks, eh?” He laughed and rubbed his hands together. Farnsworth had always been something of a voyeur with Gideon’s af- \/4$ Jacqueline Navin fairs. He’d taken great pleasure and pride in his good friend’s prowess with the ladies.<\/p>\n

Gideon knew this was as much a matter of opportunism as admiration. By attaching himself to Gideon, Farnsworth could avail himself of any disappointed women who might hope to catch Gideon’s eye. He was an expert at offering a steady shoulder, sympathetic ear, and agile hands that could undo a corset with breathtaking ease.<\/p>\n

“I hope you’ve been raising hell in my absence.” Gideon swirled the port in his glass. Farnsworth had drained his glass in three gulps. Gideon hadn’t offered him more.<\/p>\n
