She didn't like it, but his man followed her as she got out of the hired carriage that had pulled up before Douglas Gordon's home. She did not like it one bit! It felt unnecessary to have a guard following her at all times, but it had been decided among the menfolk that she needed the extra protection. In a way, it was flattering that they thought her life precious enough for such a thing.
Pippa approached the door and gave a light rap upon it, then waited with her hands in front of her, folded into a bit of a hand knot as she sought to gain control of her emotions. That was no easy feat either, for the baby was making it hard for her to stay in a good enough mood. Her eyes dropped and she sighed.
She would still have to talk to Douglas about the baby, and she still had yet to tell Viktre that she was inspecting. She highly doubted he'd marry her, and she didn't want to get married either... but it seemed that was also next on the agenda unless she locked herself away in Dr. Wells' house and lived out her pregnancy there before giving the babe up for adoption.
With a sigh, she knocked again.
