The Abducted Heart (Sweetly Contemporary Collection) - Plot & Excerpts
An hour before time, she sent word by Carmelita that she was more tired than she had realized and intended to have a tray in her room, adding the request that Anne keep Ramón company downstairs. Left to herself, Anne might have taken the coward’s way and asked for a tray also, but Doña Isabel had neatly circumvented that. With a sigh, she asked Carmelita if she would be expected to dress for dinner. A little later, wearing the gold sleeveless knit with the silk-fringed shawl, draped over her elbows in the accepted manner by the admiring little maid, Anne descended to the sala. She had rested briefly after returning from shopping and her headache had receded once more. Carmelita had brushed her hair into a shining bell and, using the cosmetics sent by Ramón, shadowed her eyes lightly with a turquoise powder brushed with gold. She felt confident, even attractive, more so than she had ever felt in her life. She felt, in fact, equal to whatever the occasion might demand. Ramón, exotically handsome in a velvet jacket of dark gray worn with black trousers and a gold silk print shirt open at the neck in the continental fashion, turned at her entrance.
