Gentry glanced at Charlotte, who was just as stunned. “Which Mr. Howard are we talking about?”

Candida lifted her chin with pride. “Who else? The Mr. Howard from The Capital!”

“Really?” Charlotte frowned. “Funny, I didn’t know he had some mysterious guardian angel.”

“That’s not surprising at all,” Candida sniffed, clearly enjoying the attention. “My daughter actually saved Mr. Howard’s life when they were kids. Our families almost arranged for them to marry, you know. If we’d agreed, my girl would be Mrs. Howard now!”

Everyone nearby exchanged skeptical glances. The story sounded a bit far–fetched…

Gentry couldn’t help but laugh, folding her arms as she leaned in toward Charlotte. “Your husband–what is he, the reincarnation of a bee or
