“Very well,” Marrok agreed. “Are you coming, Warwick?”
Through the entire exchange, Estella remained quiet. It wasn’t like her, and it worried Donovan. Was something bothering her? Did she not want to see him? He had to find a way to get her alone soon and talk to her. Not because he wanted to ask her to marry him, but also because he was worried about her. She wasn’t acting like herself.
“Not now,” Donovan said. “I was hoping Lady Estella would dance with me.” The strands of the first waltz filled the room. “Will you?” he glanced at her, awaiting her reply.
She glanced at him and then away quickly. “I’m…”
“Oh, go dance with him,” Annalise said pushing Estella toward him. “One dance won’t hurt, and you can have a nice chat.”
What did that mean and what the bloody hell was he missing? Did Estella not want to dance with him? He wouldn’t hurt her for anything—surely she knew that... He’d rather stab himself in the heart then make her miserable in any fashion.
Estella glanced at Annalise then at him. Slowly, she lifted her hand and nodded. “It would be a pleasure, my lord.”
Donovan led her out to the dance floor. The dance had already begun, but they joined the other dancers seamlessly. He waited until they were fully engrossed before speaking. He wanted her to be comfortable, but her nervousness was exacerbated by the dance.
