Rite Of Summer: Treading The Boards, Book 1 (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
His seat sat empty, a maid curtsying prettily before Coventry to make his excuses. Cade was a slow-simmering fire of banked rage in the chair opposite. He played his part well, certainly, chatting with the ladies on either side and keeping the conversation both light and utterly insubstantial, but the darkened blue of his eyes and the set of his jaw suggested another story. Joshua watched him from the corner of his own eye, only half-attentive to Lady Chalcroft’s conversation on his left. Lady Charlotte spoke less than usual, her hands clasped before her and satisfaction radiating off of her. She cast kittenish eyes at Cade, which was nothing new. More surprising were the intent stares she kept giving her father, as though waiting for something to be said. He, on the other hand, was so busy talking up his hunting dogs to Miss Talbot and her mother that he missed the entire spectacle. No one brought up London news, for which Joshua could only be grateful.
