    Summary

    There’s something about the portrait that draws Jane nearer. She knows it’s bad form to touch paintings, especially one that has just been found after centuries of being improperly cared for, but Jane can’t help but reach out to brush her fingers against Lord Dudley’s cheeks.

    A flash of green light fills the room, and Jane falls back and onto the floor. It takes her a moment or two to regain her balance, but when she does, she’s met with an impossible sight.

    Standing in front of the now empty portrait appears to be Lord Guildford Dudley himself.

    Summary

    He was naked, save for a worn towel slung around his hips with traces of shaving cream dripping from his neck. The horse seemed to give the man a side-eye before trotting over to him and welcoming his calming pats. Jane was perturbed, still recovering from the rude greeting.
    “Sorry ‘bout him. He isn’t usually this stand-offish with strangers,” the man gave her an easy smile, “How can I help you?” He asked, stepping toward her and holding his towel with one hand while extending the other to shake.
    A gesture he quickly dropped when Jane whipped her sunglasses off replying, “Well, for starters, you could get your stubborn arse over here and finish this divorce.”
