      While she was grateful to him for getting her out of France, she had no wish to meet him again. Time and distance would help to put him out of her mind and let her forget about what had happened.

      ‘I am not at liberty to say at present.’

      It reinforced the notion that he was seeking an excuse to continue their relationship. If so, he could have only one possible reason for doing so. That she should have been instrumental in putting such an idea in his head was mortifying. It was also extremely awkward. Moreover, he still had hold of her hand and she couldn’t break free without causing a scene.

      ‘And I really think I must.’

      It was quite evident that he wasn’t going to be deterred. Claudia shrugged.

      ‘Very well, though I fear you will have a wasted journey.’

      ‘We’ll see about that when the time comes, won’t we?’ He led her to the chaise and handed her in. ‘Until then, my lady.’
