Elizabeth Hoyt Quote
You look pensive, he said quietly, holding his hand out from where he lay on the bed. He wore only his shirt and breeches. She went to him without protest. Why pretend when they really had so little time left together? He gathered her against him, her back to his front, and began plucking the pins from her coiffure. Have I told you how much I admire your hair? It’s just plain brown, she murmured. Plain, lovely brown, he replied, raising a lock he’d freed to his face. Are you smelling my hair? she asked in amusement. Yes. Silly man, she said lightly. Smitten man, he corrected, spreading her hair over her shoulders. I’ve been watching you today. In between escorting Miss Royle about the garden? she asked, glancing over her shoulder at him. Yes. I’d rather it’d been you, but that wouldn’t’ve been prudent. He frowned down at the strands of her hair caught between his fingers. Or, perhaps, safe.
