Karen Hawkins _ To Scotland, With Love
Her gaze flickered to the balcony doors and back, her brows knitted in confusion. "My balcony doesn't connect to yours.""I jumped." He grinned at the flash of concern he saw in "her eyes. "At dinner, your grandmother informed me that you'd be moving to the room beside mine. She also mentioned how close my balcony was to yours; so close that even an old lady like herself could leap between the two without the least effort."Venetia's cheeks heated and she pulled her nightgown closer. "Grandmama is anything but subtle.""Almost as subtle as your mother.""Oh, no! Not Mama, too."Gregor paused beside a small table to pick up a silver tray holding a cut crystal decanter and matching glasses and set it on the table before Venetia. "Your mother was concerned I might be afraid of heights. She told me that if she were thinking of jumping between the balconies and couldn't bring herself to make the leap, it might be possible to pick the lock on the connecting door with, say, a cravat pin."Venetia blushed. "I'm surprised they aren't in here now, throwing rose petals before you as you walk.""I would never countenance petal tossing. Too showy.
