“My father seems quite vexed with you,”

Imogene whispered, trying to focus on her goal while her fingers kept moving over the keys of the piano. “Do you know why that might be?”

“I have never done anything to offend him,” Vaughn murmured back. “Why would he take me in dislike?”

She wished she knew. Vaughn Everard seemed the perfect fellow: clever, talented, handsome, charming. How could anyone take him in dislike? Certainly dislike was the farthest thing from her mind. “There’s some problem.”

“Can you arrange a meeting?”

“He’s so busy. I can’t be sure of catching him.”

“But won’t you try, for me?”

Her mother rose from her seat, wandered closer, eyes narrowing. Vaughn straightened.

“And now, the crescendo,” Imogene proclaimed, throwing herself into the music. She finished the piece with a flourish, and Vaughn Everard joined her mother in applause. But his head was cocked, his dark gaze on her as if he hadn’t truly seen her before.
