I like the inner conflict, very realistic and was actually very similar to what I was thinking when he kissed her.
LoA

Yes, the inner dialogue is exactly on par with what I’d have expected her to be thinking. What good reason would he have for kissing and then apologizing immediately like that. Does he have another love interest out there somewhere or did he just feel like he’d been improper?

Ah, yes, the two sides of our minds, ever fighting. XD A woman like Miss Delacourt would have inner fights with herself in a situation like this. Good job on capturing her two opinions. : )

Poor girl. Men can be so silly, which is very aptly described here.
