She couldn’t understand the emotions rioting within her. She wasn’t being forced into a marriage. Stanwick accepted that she would return to Milan and continue acting. Why did she feel like a part of her just walked out the door? It was silly, of course. She sniffed and wiped a tear from her cheek. Stanwick had simply awakened a passion she hadn’t known existed. He accepted her for who she was. Hélène regretted that she wouldn’t have the opportunity to explore that passion a bit further, but to do so would require marriage. She wasn’t about to give up her dreams to find out what magic occurred between a man and woman behind closed doors. “Are you all right?” Hélène blinked to find Elizabeth standing inside the room.
