“About the way what?”
“Never mind. I’ll have to dig to the bottom of it when we return to London. I may have to enlist Lucy to help me with that, too, though she’s already set her sights on someone else to be her next project.”
“Already? Who is the poor girl?”
“It’s not a girl. It’s Cade Cavendish. I told Lucy what he’d said about having done things that might get him hanged. She’s intrigued.”
Christian shook his head. “Lucy’s always wanted to be a spy.”
“What doyouthink Cade Cavendish has done?”
“I can’t even begin to guess,” Christian replied.
“Lucy says she intends to find out.”
“Thatcannot possibly end well,” Christian said.
“Why not? All her other schemes have ended well, haven’t they? Her last one got us together.”
“You may have a point, butyouwere also instrumental in getting us together. You ran away from London and broke into my house.”
“Yes, well, it wasn’t entirely easy. You asked for my help findingotherladies.”
Christian picked up her hand and kissed Sarah’s knuckles. “You made me into a legend.”
She squeezed his fingers and stared at him with love in her eyes. “Yes, and now you’re mine. My legendary lord.”
