“We would be delighted, My Lady,” Jasper replied, bowing low.

“Good night, My Lady,” Jasper said to Lady Leah. He could hear the reserve in his own voice. He bowed, bringing her hand to his lips.

“Good night, Your Grace,” Lady Leah replied. Jasper shut the door. At that moment, Lady Selina turned back around, and their eyes met. Again, he felt thunderstruck, as he had when he’d first laid eyes on her. She smiled softly, raising her gloved hand in farewell. Then, he and his mother stood back, watching as the carriage pulled away down the long drive.

“That went very well,” his mother commented as they both waved. Lady Kirby and Lady Leah’s gloved hands were like small white birds, flapping its wings.

“Yes, very.” Jasper felt exhausted. But at the same time, exhilarated. Thoughts of Lady Selina filled his mind. She was unlike anyone he’d ever met before.

“I’m off to bed,” his mother said, leaving him at the front door.

Jasper kissed the air beside her cheek. “Goodnight, Mother.” He watched as she walked up the stairs.

Jasper had the strangest feeling that he’d been waiting for someone like Lady Selina to walk into his life. Now that she’d arrived, he didn’t know what to do.
