At least it felt like that to Diana. He’d been taciturn at breakfast and left the breakfast room without another word. What had happened on his visit to his estate? She knew he didn’t like going there. She always saw the resignation preceding a trip and the tension on his face when he returned. To leave so soon upon returning worried her. She felt she was losing him and couldn’t bear to think of her life without him in it.She slumped into a chair set in one dark corner of the parlor, tapping the toe of one shoe on the fine carpet. If her mother saw her posture she’d screech. It didn’t matter. The afternoon was waning and it would soon be time for supper. Would Derek stay away again? He was leaving tomorrow. She just had to see him tonight. “Our Hawk cousin kept himself to his room last night, I take it?” one of her male cousins, maybe Eddie, asked.“Hardly his room,” another man said, probably Harry.Their shared laughter spoke of something dark and naughty. She lifted her legs and curved into the back of the chair.
