‘It's never too soon to start planning for the future. Life must go on.' And yet, even as he spoke, she wondered if he could bear to remain in the village after all that had happened. It would wrench her heart to leave Hamblewick, but if he wanted to leave she would go with him willingly.

offering
me Paradise.'

Contentedly, happily, she went into his arms.
