The last candle in the cold stone chamber was snuffed out, and the small redheaded beauty made her way to the large curtained bed. A soft, contented sigh escaped her lips as she sunk into the heavy feather bed. pale lids fluttered shut over dove grey eyes, and her mind went to thoughts of the upcoming wedding. Lord Ashton had proposed to her..well, more accurately her father, just that day, and he happily accepted. Lady Angelstone, on the other hand, had no say in the matter. Although Lord Ashton was Fredrick Ashton's son, and Fredrick Ashton was the wealthiest landowner in the small province of Dorset, and The young Ashton was a very wealthy man in his own right, Syrus felt nothing but fear about the event. She had just turned twenty-four, and was not likely to get a better offer...
She stopped herself abruptly. no use in thinking crudely about herself. She would rather be a spinster than be Lady Ashton. But the Angelstone's needed an heir, less that horrbile Jeremy Merriweather, her cousin, take over the title.
She sighed and streched, her small form dwarfed under the heavy quilts. There was nothing she could do about it now...may as well not bother with it til morning...
and with that thought she quicklly drifted off to sleep.
