Summary
Lady Whittaker, leaning back in her chair with crossed legs, stares out the tall windows on the wall beyond. "Must I have a reason to be kind? Your misery is so great, I thought it only proper to come, given that I possess the fortune to alleviate it."
Percival frowns, clutching the teacup. So she is indeed hoping to help. Oh, he must feel honored!
"I thank you for your kindness and condescension, Lady Whittaker. Your consideration moves me, even if it is less than sincere," he remarks with dry mockery. "Pray, what brilliant idea has your genius devised for poor, broken little Percival Kirkland? Might I discover another stunning glimpse into the breadth of your wisdom? I can hardly wait!"
Luciana Whittaker obliges him.
"Marry me."
Entrusted with a meager barony and generations' worth of debt, Lord Percival Kirkland finds an odd saving grace in his former childhood friend and most contemptible rival, Lady Luciana Whittaker.
