Summary
“Maud was looking extremely wintry. Cameron was watching Rupert. His face was like marble, but the tendons on the back of his hand, which was clenched round his glass, were like underground cables. He never took his eyes off Taggie as she and Bas moved round the floor. Then, suddenly, as the music stopped and Bas bent his otter-sleek head and kissed Taggie on her crimson mouth, his hand tightened on the glass so convulsively that it shattered.” - Rivals, Chapter 47
After his disastrous, drunken outburst at the Hunt Ball, Rupert shows up at Taggie’s apartment to explain. But what he’s really seeking is the absolution only she can grant him.
