Eventually.
Long after Toby had left for the hustings, she dragged herself from their rumpled bed. As she stretched, her body protested with pain. It was the sort of mild, dull ache one typically experienced the day following some strenuous exertion—the muscles clinging to their memories of flexing, stretching, drawing taut. The ache ensured she would think of him and their passion, all day. It was not at all unpleasant.
She examined herself in the mirror, finding other ways in which he’d marke
...d her. Her fingers lingered over a berry-stain bruise at the crest of her right breast. No daring necklines for her today.
She found another small purpling mark, just below her nipple, and she remained there for several minutes, transfixed by its reflection.
It had been a long time since Bel had stood before a mirror thus, contemplating wounds inflicted by love. Not since she was a child. Bruises, scratches … bite marks, on occasion—her mother had given her all these, and more.
    El amor es locura.
