“No. The poor man’s mind is addled as it is. I wouldn’t want to cause him any more distress.”
“Of course. If you’d like me to be present when you tell Lady Fletcher, I would be happy to be there.”
“Thank you, Peter. I may need your support.”
“You always have it, my darling.”
“May I ask you one more thing?”
“Of course. Anything.”
“I think it would make me feel better if you kissed me again.”
Peter chuckled. “My pleasure,” he said and pulled her into his arms for a most delicious kiss.
