And in the middle of the reel, as the music surged and the dancers moved in playful chaos around him, Mr. Blyth caught sight of the French windows at the far end of the ballroom—opened slightly to the night air.
Mr. Fitzwilliam stood at the threshold for only a moment.
Then he stepped out, disappearing into the garden beyond.
[Sorry to do this again LOL! But who wants to read an extra tiny chapter? Up next, the tension continues!]

3.4k views29 subscribers
Mr. Henry Blyth has always known his place in the world—a man of duty, bound by responsibility to his family and his late father’s legacy. Love, if it comes at all, must be tempered by reason, not swept up in sentiment.
But when Mr. Fitzwilliam, a newcomer from the city, arrives in the countryside, the careful order of Blyth’s world is unsettled. With Fitzwilliam comes a different way of thinking—one that challenges what Blyth has always believed about obligation, freedom, and the quiet sacrifices that shape a life.
As the weight of expectation presses heavier than ever, Blyth must confront a question he has long avoided—does duty define him, or is there room for something more?
