“Millie was never possessive, never effusive, and never demonstrative. Her even-tempered approach to her marriage should have been enough to convince everyone that she admired, but did not love, her husband. Yet for years now, his sisters had suspected something else. Perhaps unrequited love was like a specter in the house, a presence that brushed at the edge of senses, a heat in the dark, a shadow under the sun.” Sherry ThomasMillieRavishing The Heiress Book:Ravishing the Heiress Source: Ravishing the Heiress
“And why, exactly, was she in no danger from him? Why didn’t he want her with the fervor of a thousand over-heating engines? She ought to be constantly ogled and groped, having to beat him off with her parasol, her fan, and maybe one of her walking boots.” Sherry ThomasMillieRavishing The Heiress Book:Ravishing the Heiress Source: Ravishing the Heiress
