Summary
The gold clasp clicks. “There.”
The necklace settles heavily around Penelope’s throat. It is rather short, the pearls pressing weightily against Penelope’s clavicle above the neckline of her simple dark blue uniform, and Penelope feels suddenly as if she is wearing not a necklace but a collar. A chain.
Eloise’s eyes meet hers, and a soft little gasp escapes Penelope. Barely a breath, really, just the tiniest inhale, but Eloise’s sharp eyes catch it, lingering upon Penelope’s parted lips, and for some reason the young woman looks… pleased.
A savage sort of triumph on her face, Eloise pulls away.
Why is Penelope trembling so hard? She takes a deep, shaky breath.
OR: penelope is brought on to work as a maid for Eloise Bridgerton just before her wedding to Lord Morrison
