The Undoing Of Daisy Edwards (A Time For Scandal) - Plot & Excerpts
No, that’s not entirely true. I didn’t go to thinking it would happen at the theatre, but I went hoping it would happen, because I took a preservative with me. On-stage, she was mesmerising. Offstage, just looking at her made my blood heat. She looked so fragile, and so damned determined not to be. She was beautiful too, that goes without saying. Even when she was dressed as Joan of Arc, that tunic and those tights showed off every sensuous curve. I’m sure that wasn’t the intention. Maybe it’s because I’d seen them in the flesh, those long legs, that soft skin, those curves. I could have looked at her forever. Just looked. Though I’m glad I got to do more than look. I didn’t mean to kiss her like that. I meant to ask her out to dinner. I meant to try to be civilised, to remember what it was like to be civilised, but as soon as her mouth opened under mine, as soon as she responded to the pressure of my lips with a pressure just as fierce, any idea of civility fled. I’ve never been like this with any other woman.
