Tessa nodded, recognizing his goodwill. She didn't dislike Landon's presence. In fact, deep down, she felt an odd sense of comfort and even a little anticipation when he was around-though she couldn't explain why.

"Who was that man just now?"

Tessa didn't even glance at her. The household staff, hearing the sound of their arrival, opened the heavy iron gates. Without a word, Tessa walked in.
