I can tell you, though, from experience, you grow accustomed to it. You learn to live your new life, and you can't imagine, or even really remember, how things were before.
Rage flared up in Tessa and she considered belting Woolsey with the poker whether he came near her or not. He had moved awfully quickly while fighting Will, though, and she didn’t fancy her chances. You don’t know James Carstairs. Don’t speak about him. Love him, do you? Woolsey managed to make it sound unpleasant. But you love Will, too. Tessa froze.
