    “I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”
    Lisa Kleypas, Blue-Eyed Devil

    “I don’t want to be a widow, I don’t want Michael Bayning, and I don’t want you to joke about such things, you tactless clodpole!”

    As all three of them stared at her openmouthed, Poppy leapt up and stalked away, her hands drawn into fists.

    Bewildered by the immediate force of her fury—it was like being stung by a butterfly—Harry stared after her dumbly. After a moment, he asked the first coherent thought that came to him. “Did she just say she doesn’t want Bayning?”

    “Yes,” Win said, a smile hovering on her lips. “That’s what she said. Go after her, Harry.”

    Every cell in Harry’s body longed to comply. Except that he had the feeling of standing on the edge of a cliff, with one ill-chosen word likely to send him over. He gave Poppy’s sister a desperate glance. “What should I say?”

    “Be honest with her about your feelings,” Win suggested.

    A frown settled on Harry’s face as he considered that. “What’s my second option?”

    “I have never said this to anyone before.” Leo’s voice was like ragged velvet. “But the idea of you with child is the most insanely arousing thing I’ve ever imagined. Your belly all swollen, your breasts heavy, the funny little way you would walk … I would worship you. I would take care of your every need. And everyone would know that I’d made you that way, that you belonged to me.”

    “Ah, Evie,” she heard him say softly, “I must have a heart, after all…because right now it aches like the devil.”

    “Only your heart?” she asked ingenuously, making him laugh.

    He lowered her to the bed, his eyes sparkling wickedly. “Also a few other things,” he conceded. “And as my wife, it’s your duty to ease all my aches.”

    “Captain Phelan,” Cam asked, choosing his words with care. “Have you come to ask for our consent to marry Beatrix?”
    Christopher shook his head.

    “If I decide to marry Beatrix, I’ll do it with or without your consent.”

    Leo looked at Cam. “Good God,” he said in disgust. “This one’s worse than Harry.”

    “Do you know what a balance wheel is?” She shook her head slightly. “There’s one in every clock or watch. It rotates back and forth without stopping. It’s what makes the ticking sound...what makes the hands move forward to mark the minutes. Without it, the watch wouldn’t work. You’re my balance wheel, Poppy.” -Harry Rutledge”

    “Leo smiled and stroked her hair. 'We'll both be fine, Marks. We've just begun our journey...and there's so much we have yet to do.' He spoke more softly as he heard her breathing turn even and steady. 'Rest against my heart. Let me watch over your dreams. And know that tomorrow morning, and every morning after that, you'll awaken next to someone who loves you.'

    'Dodger?' she mumbled against his chest, and he grinned.

    'No, your confounded ferret will have to stay in his basket. I was referring to myself.'

    'Yes, I know.' Catherine slid her hand up to his cheek. 'Only you,' she said. 'Always you.”

    “Half the night I waste in sighs,
    Half in dreams I sorrow after
    The delight of early skies;
    In a wakeful dose I sorrow
    For the hand, the lips, the eyes,
    For the meeting of the morrow,
    The delight of happy laughter,
    The delight of low replies.”
    Alfred Tennyson, Maud, and other poems
