Grabbing her cloak, she hurried out of the house. A walk in today's pleasant weather would clear her mind, and hopefully, help her to think clearer. Last night was not only a failure for Gordon, but for her as well. Because she wasn't able to get a private moment with Ashton, how could she discover anything about the man he really was? The few times they had found intimate moments, she felt that he was a very honorable man—one she could trust.
Gradually, buildings loomed before her, and the street became busy with horses and carriage. She had to stay alert as not to run into any of the people hustling on the boardwalk, as well. Since she was not in the busy part of town, should she make a surprise visit to Ashton at his office? His building wasn't too far away from her.
Just the thought
