Your Grace,
As it is my duty to guard and protect Lady Stenly, I feel I should inform you that she and her sister slept on a make-shift bed in the floor of the drawing room the previous night.
Also, a male visitor called today to see Lady Stenly. They spoke privately in the private receiving room upstairs. And when I came in on them, they were in an inappropriate embrace.
Given that you said I should report anything detrimental to her safety, I feel you should know.
In an inappropriate embrace? What exactly did that imply? They were kissing? Or was she allowing him to touch her?
He ran a hand through his hair.
When he said that anything detrimental to her safety should be reported, he should have expected his guards to send a daily report of her life.
They were just so… dedicated.
But he was glad they were.
So he had been right. She hopped right into his arms the very next day.
He should be happy for her, he thought grimly.
