My True Love
“He’d known it for days. However much his mind circled around it, it always came back to surrender.
He glanced down at the coffer on the table beside him. Another regret. Perhaps he would give the coffer to Anne, have her take the codex somewhere safe. Protect it, that it might be read a hundred or more years from now.
He wanted to tell her what he’d discovered. Words that had startled him and confused him and then amazed him. He would go to her chamber and tell her. Only that.
His smile was a s...ilent rebuke, an effortless ridicule of his intent. If he went to her chamber, it would not be to tell her of the Langlinais miracle but to leach some comfort in her arms.
Would she know how much he needed her tonight? He would not say the words, but perhaps she would know and extend her arms around him. Lover and friend.
He left the room before he could convince himself that it was not wise. That honor decreed he treat her with discretion, with gentleness. But she answered his soft knock within moments, as if she’d waited for him.MoreLess
