She could do nothing else, after leaving the circus of her house. Her mother was beside herself with excitement. Penelope seemed pensive.

She almost, almost turned back around on the threshold of the cove. But the painful memory of David’s parting last night and the wretched, abraded surface of her heart, pushed her forward through the final stretch of scrub grass. She did not know which gentleman’s offer to accept, but she knew she could not consider any of them without taking this next, necessary step. Her conscience was doing its best to tell her this decision was wrong.
