“Milady! Such language for a woman of your position, I’ll say.” Tavis rebuked.

Lydia smiled at his words. How he went on about his talented hands! One would think they were made of purest gold instead of flesh, bone, and a few calluses. She glanced at him a pensive moment while he stirred the brew.MoreLess
