They rode in silence for a time. When they reached the milepost, Merissa turned the carriage off the road onto a narrow lane.
“I say, I thought the posting station was that way.”
“It is. But my home is this direction.”
Christian felt a further lightening of his mood. The chit wasn’t entirely immune to his charm. She obviously couldn’t wait to introduce him to her family. Some things didn’t change. Even in the wilds of the midlands, women found him irresistible.
“If you conveyed me to the posting station that would be more than adequate,” he said, “there’s no need to go out of your way on my account.”
“My sister will worry if I am any later. Besides, we can’t leave your team out in the cold. I’ll have Bob go after them as soon as we arrive.”
Christian felt properly set down. He had assumed she meant to gloatingly present him to her family. Instead, she had been thinking of the welfare of his horses. This woman was certainly different from the adoring London misses he was used to.
