Ashbourne’s proposal now.”
Richard’s face went pale. He stammered, “B-but… I thought you really connected
with my mother earlier…”
Henry gave a half shrug and a smirk, like he was humoring a child. “I just feel like
I connect better with Ms. Ashbourne now.”
Richard froze. His mouth opened and then shut again.
From across the hall, Alistair happened to glance in Richard’s direction and saw
him storming off toward a quieter area, his face drained of all color.
