michael stirling ( @mysticwrit ) said: ❛ can’t sleep? ❜
she was startled by his voice, hand resting on her chest as her heart raced in surprise. ❝ oh, michael! you gave me a fright! ❞ perhaps it was her fault as chiara should have been paying more attention to her surroundings, especially seeing as it was so late at night. but the woman had been distracted with her thoughts, pondering over business and how everything seemed to be going wrong in the ton. ❝ it has been... a troubling week, i suppose is the best way to describe it, ❞ she whispered, smiling at him. ❝ so no, i cannot sleep. i like strolling around at night, the breeze helps with my busy thoughts. are you struggling with the same problem? or are you on your way to one of those marvelous clubs i’ve heard so much about? ❞ the raven-haired modiste added, taking a step closer to him.
