Summary
As they separated and bowed, Penelope’s heart was wildly trilling, her chest heaving as she fought the sudden breathlessness that had nothing to do with physical exertion, and everything to do with the anxiety over what was to come. She caught Colin’s gaze when she turned away from Mr Lennix, a small, victorious smile playing on her lips when she saw his hand flex at his side.
She paused and subtly curtsied, drawing their little game to a close with the single move. She’d achieved her goal; she’d been seen. Colin’s response was a simple tick of his jaw, his eyes narrowing at her.
A renewed challenge.
