Devlin had a reputation as a love 'em and leave 'em rake. He picked the women he danced with as well as bedded with care and consideration for that specific reason. When he picked her best friend Lily for a dance, Sarah, who was painfully shy and believed she loved him to distraction, was able to live the dance vicariously through her. Lily, who knew what she was about, took the opportunity to give her friend the thing she wanted most. Time alone with Devlin. Unfortunately, Sarah was shy and tongue-tied and did not believe she made a good impression. She may not have made the kind of impression she wanted, but she did make one. Devlin, who's heart had been broken by a duke's daughter who rejected his ring and baldly told him a viscount was not good enough for her, saw a lovely spirit, sweetness and a chasteness in Sarah. He also saw someone who loved him as he was. Sarah is that girl some of us, if we will acknowledge it, once were or that we'd notice always painfully on the fringes of a room or a crowd. Not the girl who deliberately didn't want to be there. The one on the other end. The one who so wanted to belong.
