The Blackwood Heir

‘Something is going on with Alistair,’ Daphne thought warily to herself. 


It was incredible how in just a couple of months Daphne found herself so in tune with another person. 


Alistair was someone who proved to be naturally, and skillfully, observant of people. There were numerous occasions in which the man was able to pick up on her change in behavior simply from just being in her presence.


And sure enough, she was beginning to develop that similar skill as well. Especially when it came to him. 


It was the little things Alistair did that went unnoticed to most people. Such as spending an over extended amount of time in his study late at night. Or when he’d have over two glasses of bourbon and tuck himself away into one of the parlors. 


Much like her, Blackwood would grow quiet and less responsive. She could sense how far away he was, mentally, by the despondent look in his eye.
