Young Mr. Maxwell would make a very good match.”
Camilla’s lovely face hardened just a little at the mention of Maxwell. Grey could have kissed her. “He was quick to abandon her the last time he courted my daughter, so I will have to reserve judgment until he’s proven himself a changed man, no matter how well I wish to think of him.”
“Very wise,” Grey agreed, ignoring the look his brother slanted toward him.
“A few years can do wonders for a man’s maturity,” Archer remarked.
Grey shrugged. “Or not. Some men simply become overgrown boys and never face the consequences of their actions.”
Archer smiled. “And some blame society and hide like scared mice for the rest of their lives.”
Were they alone Grey might have hit him. But they weren’t alone, and instead of giving into his anger, he was left with having to face how much hearing his brother say such a thing hurt.
Not only hurt, it made him deuced uncomfortable.
