Grayson couldn’t help but notice that there seemed to be a disturbing trend occurring—a trend that had thrust him directly into the position of knight in shining armor on an all too frequent basis. Granted, he’d willingly gone along with Eliza’s demands, fetching Felicia the day before and agreeing to seek Agatha out today, but his participation with his sister’s demands was only due to guilt, not because he was inherently chivalrous. Couldn’t anyone see that his armor, what little he actually possessed, was remarkably tarnished—and because of his past was hardly likely to ever shine again? The last thing he wanted to do was escort Felicia to a ball. It would require he spend hours in her company alone, hours that he was fairly certain would be vastly uncomfortable, given that he was rapidly becoming fascinated with the lady. He’d distanced himself from her at Eliza’s house not because he was annoyed about her driving abilities—or lack thereof, as the case seemed to be—but because he’d been helplessly drawn to her as she’d driven his horses haphazardly down the street—and an occasional sidewalk—her shrieks of laughter doing odd things to his heart.
