CASSANDRA BELL LEANED her head against the cold window, staring out at
the bleak and colorless December landscape outside their coach. Well, not
colorless, exactly. But the bare trees and dead, dry grass did not inspire any
great appreciation for nature at the moment.
A moan came from beside her, and Cassie winced as she turned to her
sister. The constant bumping and swaying was enough to make anyone feel
ill, but Vivian never traveled well to begin with. She slumped against the side
of the coach, eyes glassy and unseeing.
“Are you certain you do not wish to stop?” Cassie asked yet again. Her
twin sister’s face was as green as the pea soup they’d eaten at the inn while
their horses were changed. Though people often had difficulty telling the
sisters apart, Cassie doubted anyone would have that trouble today.
Vivian only shook her head in response, gripping the bench beneath her
so tightly that her hands turned white.
“You must know that stopping to rest an hour will hardly hurt your
chances of marriage.” Cassie attempted a bit of humor—she could always
make Vivian smile.
But Vivian did not smile. She gulped a breath, as if desperate for air, and
shook her head once again. “No, we cannot stop. We must arrive early.”
“Yes, of course,” Cassie said dryly. “Because Roland Hastings will surely
fall in love with you the moment he sees you looking like a sailor who hasn’t
yet found his sea legs.”
Now Vivian shot her a scowl, though her inability to move without
groaning made her infinitely less threatening. “I am certain I will feel better
when we arrive at Hartfield Court. But I’ll not stop now and lose any chance
of spending time with Mr. Hastings before the other ladies arrive.”
“Ladies? Tabbies might be the better word.”
Vivian’s lips twitched. “They certainly will be desperate to sink their
claws into poor Mr. Hastings.”
