Face To Face (The Deverell Series Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
The sisters had cleaned and bandaged her feet upon her return from the chapel. The burning sting of her flesh had miraculously faded after a single night. It was no doubt due to the vile smelling concoction April had prepared. It proved a remarkable cure, but Merry used the injury as an excuse to hide in her bedchamber from Varian.She did not see Varian until the third night. He stopped at her sickbed to inquire on her recovery. Abruptly, he informed her that he would be gone to Richmond on the morrow. He made no explanation for his journey and the thought of him surrounded by fawning companions and lovers did not set pleasantly upon Merry. She could feel the ache of missing him and the ache, of what she reluctantly admitted was jealousy, though he had not even left her yet.His visit was brief, no more than few minutes. His demeanor was courteous and distant. When the door clicked closed behind him, she sat in her bed, hugging her legs with her arms and sent a frantic plea to heaven to allow her someday understand him.
