“Good morning, aunt. I trust you slept well last night?”
“Yes, thank you.”
She sat across from Rory and waited as a footman brought her a plate of toast and
a cup of tea.
“What do you and Lily have planned for today?”
She smiled. “I think you mean what does Lily have planned for today, don’t you?”
He wasn’t sure. Women were so complicated at times. They could twist the simplest
of conversation around where one didn’t know what it was about.
“My sister is excited?”
“Yes. She can’t wait for the Abbott ball.”
“Isn’t she excited to be presented to the Queen tomorrow?”
“But of course. It’s just that the Abbott ball will be her first official function.”
“I understand.”
Actually he didn’t. The female mind was something that always confused him. He
took Mac’s lead and simply let them have their way.
He slid the newspaper across the table to his aunt. Fiona was his father’s younger
sister. She had endured tragedy when her husband had been killed in a huntingaccident two weeks after they’d married. He often wondered why she’d never remarried.
She was still a beautiful woman.
“It seems we’ve made the gossip columns already.”
She smiled at Rory. “Oh, my. I hope it’s all good.”
He nodded. “It is. More of a curiosity about me.”
“Ah, yes, the jilted bridegroom. Of course.”
“Which I don’t intend to get in my way.”
Fiona tilted her head. “You’re serious about finding a bride. Even if she’s English.”
“Aye. It matters not if she’s English or Scot. I need a wife. It’s time.”
“You are a continuous surprise to me, Rory.”
“How’s that?”
“Just when I think I know what you’re going to do, you do something I don’t see
coming.”
He laughed. “That’s the way I prefer to keep things. Mysterious.”
“And that you do.”
Rory stood and walked around the table to his aunt. He kissed her on the cheek. “I
need to see to some things in my study. If you have time to help me go through the
stack of invitations, I’d appreciate it. Tyler says there are quite a few.”
“This should prove to be interesting. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For making this trip and seeing to Lily’s needs. I know Mother didn’t want to be far
when Rose gives birth, so I’m glad you stepped in.”
“Say no more. I’m more than happy to ensure Lily’s first season is a success. Edana
has been on Skye for far too long. London society makes her nervous.”
“I know. We all do. That’s why Lily didn’t raise a fuss about her not attending.”
“We all have our reasons and our secrets. Remember that, Rory, and don’t judge
people by who they are.”
He nodded and left the room. He knew better than to get into a discussion of that
sort with his aunt. She was too wise. Sometimes more than a woman should be.
“Yes, thank you.”
She sat across from Rory and waited as a footman brought her a plate of toast and
a cup of tea.
“What do you and Lily have planned for today?”
She smiled. “I think you mean what does Lily have planned for today, don’t you?”
