Upon Your Return
“In fact, she felt more in love with him than ever before. Still, he'd not said anything to reveal that he felt the same way toward her.

Perhaps the reason had been because of her femininity. If she had been born a man instead of a woman, it might have been different. Or perhaps not. Michel de Bellamont had always been a difficult man. She couldn't name one person, male or female, who had ever won his approval…well, besides Nicholas Bordeaux or Jean Le Croíx. And maybe there were unknown reasons for that as well.
