Robert’s smile deepened. “What?” she asked, grinning in return.
“My knee doesn’t hurt. You’re a miracle worker.”
“I’ll remind you of that when I make you dance at our wedding.”
He laughed. It was the first time she’d heard him do so, and it was definitely a sound she could get used to. It was a sound she intended to get used to. He’d said he couldn’t be like other men, but she didn’t consider that a detriment. He would have his bad moments, his dark memories, she knew, but they would deal with them together. She wanted to help him, and she wanted to be with him when he finally felt able to emerge fully into the sunlight. She glanced over to see Evie and Georgiana holding hands, both of them crying and laughing.
They’d done it. They’d delivered their lessons, and found their loves. For an idea spawned out of frustration on a rainy day, it had turned out rather well. Lucinda looked up at Robert again, and with a smile he kissed her softly on the lips. Their idea had turned out exceedingly well, if she said so herself.
THE END
About the Author
A native and current resident of Southern California, SUZANNE ENOCH loves movies almost as much as she loves books. She once appeared on an E! special, Star Wars Is Back, as an expert on the romance in the Star Wars movies. Other highlights include winning her third grade spelling bee, receiving an E.T. poster and T-shirt in an alien-inspired poetry contest, and submitting a script for The A-Team (which was not why the series was cancelled).
When she is not busily working on her next novel, Suzanne likes to contemplate interesting phenomena, like how the three guppies in her aquarium became 161 guppies in five months.
