Summary
“Miss Sharma,” Lord Westcliff said, drawing her attention back to him, “I find it rare to encounter someone with such poise. It is rather refreshing.”
The compliment landed with all the warmth of a stone dropped into a well. “You are too kind, my lord,” she replied, her tone as smooth as glass.
Lady Danbury, clearly pleased with her handiwork, excused herself with a knowing look, leaving Kate alone with Lord Westcliff.
Alternatively, this entire evening could have been avoided if Kate had feigned a headache, and left society to its glittering absurdities. But fate, as always, had other plans.
