    Summary

    He looked out toward the sea. "I thought it better not to intrude by presuming your notice after--" he faltered, then said with effort, "after all that has passed between us. I believed it would be unwelcome."

    "Is it your habit," she asked with the faintest smile, "to determine a lady's preferences without consultation?"

    This was not the right thing to say, bringing up those things they would both rather forget. His expression shifted--perhaps embarrassment, perhaps frustration. "I did not mean to offend."

    "No?" She arched an eyebrow. "Then you do it quite by accident, sir."

    "That is not--" she started, but he cut her off.

    "It is a fair assessment, I think." His smile was wry, self-deprecating. "And who am I to refuse? I told you I would take what I could have, even if it is only this."

    Summary

    "Welcome home," she said, and heard the brittleness in her own voice, the mockery of the sentiment.

    "This has not been home for some time, madam. For either of us."

    Then he was gone, and Elizabeth was left in her carefully claimed sitting room, staring at a book she could not read, wondering how they had arrived at this--two people bound together by law and circumstance, which neither could escape, circling each other like wounded animals in a house too small for their shared misery.
