She walked with her head held regally, aware of all. He should have told her everything. He must. Now, if he could get her attention. “Don’t give up on me, LaMourette,” he whispered. “I won’t give up on you.” Viviane’s maid had a curiously aloof manner about her. When he saw her stumble into traffic, he picked up his pace. He made it to Viviane’s side as her maid was in danger of stepping before a speeding hackney.

The carriage rolled by and Rhys was unable to move quickly. His heel twisted. Icy pain spiked his calf and he felt a bone snap. “Oh!” The maid struggled, and he released her immediately. “How dare you!” “You—” Rhys winced, struggling against the sight-blackening pain “—were in danger, my lady.” “I was walking!” “Thank you,” Viviane said to him, then admonished her maid, “You were not watching your step, Portia.”
