He cocked an eyebrow at me. “Rocky start, hm?” “That’s putting it mildly…” “Time.” I frowned and looked at him. “What?” “Time,” he said. “Consistency. Love… And not just the words… You have to remember that…” He huffed and sat up. “The kind of bond that you’re just now experiencing with her,

Violet And there it is. It was almost disappointing how predictable it was. The suspicions and speculations that had been building at the back of my mind all snapped together like a portrait. This visit was never about Theodore. It was about me. It had likely been about me from the moment that
Owen growled and barked at a nearby steward. “Bring it here.” His mother looked furious, but that look of disdain on his wife’s face was gone. She was staring at me in outright shock, like she didn’t believe I was real. She’d probably never seen Owen so helplessly angry. It served him right. The
VioletI thought our marriage was perfect until I heard him say her name.“Nora!”Lucas darted away from me and across the room to a woman in a velvet blue dress. He swept her up into his arms. His face lit up with a joy that I’d never seen on his face before. He looked at her as if she were a gift
