Pretending
Isabella stopped when she noticed Robin through the foliage. Her heart stopped as well. He held a finger to his lips. Was he up to no good or was he here to save her? She truly didn't know. The treasure would go a long way in helping with his cause, but he didn't leave damsels in distress. And she was definitely in distress at the moment. But did he know that?
~
She collapsed in his arms when he found her after her escape from Thornton. She wanted nothing more than for him to hold her and soothe her fears. For things between them to return to the way they had been before. Friendly, easy…yet still fraught with a longing for something she couldn’t quite identify.
But he was cool and distant, and she wondered if he were really lost to her or just being cautious. They had issues between them now, after all.
It wasn’t until John said what he said as he escorted her home that she realized Robin was no longer her friend. She hardened her heart then. Never again would she allow herself to be taken in by his handsome features or his silky words.
She could never truly hate him, though. After all, he’d saved her twice. But she could make a good show of it.
