He descended slowly; at the time a gothic hero coming to life in a pearl gray waistcoat, snowy colorless cravat, as well as dark trousers tucked into calf-hugging black leather riding boots, however hanging lazily at his side was a steel-barreled dueling pistol.
An icy finger slithered down Jolline’s spine, she briefly considered the chance that her fever had returned—or her imagination had finally shoved her over the cliff of reality… But he wasn’t really a hallucination.
He was all too real, and only slowly did she tear her gaze away from the pistol, the boots, as well as the waistcoat to see the guy himself, then in the dim gray light, his hair was raven black; his eyes were a pale, imperial red; his face chiseled as well as unsmiling—everything about him the embodiment of nineteenth-century haughtiness. She wanted to curtsy; To run. To tell him she did not need that governess job after all! Jolline was at the home for heating, ventilation, as well as A/C repair, but the Lord of the Manor was someone she knew all too well! Why was he dressed like that with the hot as well as cold temperatures so high? Elliott was the first caller at the cooling company that day. He said that his cooling unit had broken down the previous night. The failure of the air conditioner must have made him cranky because he sounded impatient on the iphone. I was unfortunate enough to be the cooling expert on the job, then Elliot as well as I had history, as well as it was not all pleasant, but I had a climate control unit to fix, as well as that is precisely what I did. I did not need any help finding the air conditioner setup. Elliott’s heating, ventilation, as well as A/C incorporated the latest cooling technology, which made my work easier. I also replaced the air filter to improve the indoor air quality. Before long, I was on my merry way. I then later learned from a fellow cooling professional that Elliott was particular about the cooling specialist he wanted to conduct the air conditioner service.
