her feel comfortable for the first time since the accident. Maybe even in years.

      And playful. Nicola had never been a playful sort of person. Earnest, yes. Serious. Interested in doing good works, as long as they didn’t involve knitting. Once she was done with Puddling, she vowed never to pick up another knitting needle unless her life depended on skewering someone with it.

      What about your family?

      Jack made a face. “My mother is in France at the moment. It’s somewhat of a relief not to have to force myself to be jolly for the season with her. It’s difficult at any time of the year, in fact—the mater is not a warm and fuzzy creature at the best of times. She is unusually sharp-tongued, blunt, and far too honest for anyone’s good. Right now, I am in her little black book. Punishment is always nigh. If she was home for Christmas, I’d get a lump of coal.”

      Why?

      “I’m a disappointment to her, I suppose. In trade.” He exaggerated the word as if it were excrement. “She has an idea that I’ve betrayed my upbringing, disrespected my parents, although wolves would have been more sympathetic.” His mouth turned upward, but the smile was not real. “I’m sorry—it’s rather pathetic for a man my age to whine about the shortcomings of his family. I take it you are close to yours.”

      Nicola nodded.

      “Lucky you. Here, you look chilled to the bone. Shall I return you to your cottage?” He extended an elbow, and she took it. “I shall get the letters to our hiding spot first thing in the morning. Thank you very much for facilitating my rebellion.”

      Nicola stood, planting her cane in the slush. She’d like to spend more time with Jack, but they had probably garnered too much notice already. Her afternoon was bound to be boring.

      And kissless.
