She’d been awake for a while, but actually leaving the bed was so difficult. She just wanted to lie here with her eyes closed, rather than face the day ahead of her. There was a soft knock on the door. “Beatrice?”It was Jessica, come to coax her out of bed like she had the past two days.Three mornings ago, her mother and father had practically pushed her into the carriage headed to the coaching inn where they’d intended for her to take the mail coach to Berkshire. Her parents wouldn’t allow her to take the carriage all the way to their country home, as they needed it and their coachman to remain in Town for their own activities.The kindly coachman, John, hadn’t been too keen on taking a lady to an inn where she’d need to take the mail coach on her own without a maid or a chaperone. She’d known he’d help her. And when she asked him to take her to Jessica’s instead, John was more than happy to oblige.Jessica had taken her in with open arms. Beatrice had poured out the whole story of what had happened between her and Drew, and after Jessica had made sure she’d had a good breakfast, she insisted that Beatrice send Drew a letter right away.She’d written Drew that very morning.
