jacquetta had been looking on the different couples dancing. she loved to dance, but she did not want to give anyone a false impression. she was not looking for  a husband. while she and james were not in romantic love, they adored one another, and he respected her in a way she rarely saw in most marriages. they were truly friends, and in her own way, she did love him. she saw friends think a man was charming and good, only to be treated horrible after marriage, simply because the man married them due to their dowry. james had left jacquetta with a huge account for herself, so she knew if she married, her new husband would take the money. not to mention her son’s well being.

jacquetta caught the eye of owen thornby. she had known him through her husband james, and remained friendly with him. he was handsome, and she could see lots of women trying to have him dance with them. with each dance he looked less and less interested. she wasn’t sure why this amused her. she was more grateful than ever she was not on the market. this whole ritual seemed like a lot. as she saw him step away, she couldn’t help but tease ❝you could show some enthusiasm, after all it was a dance not a trip to the gallows.❞
