"Sit Beside No One of Importance" They Told Her — She Sat Beside the Duke
They pointed her to the shadows, to the forgotten chair in the corner where a wallflower might wilt unnoticed. But no one told her who was already sitting there. The Duke, exiled from the dance floor by his own formidable reputation, watched her settle beside him with a quiet, dangerous interest. By the time the evening ended, the family who had tried to bury her were the ones staring, as she rose from a seat meant for no one and into the light of his full attention.
