The day wore on, and Padma had spent most of it gasping over the lovely array of gifts her friends had thought to send her. Writing her thank you notes had taken considerable time in between spending her day with Nathaniel.
After a long and luxurious swim in the pool house, Padma had returned to her rooms. It really didn't concern her that Theo had not presented her with any gift as such, but the sun was beginning to go down and she wondered just what he had planned.
Nathaniel was still having a nap, and she was smiling as she thought of him and how clever he was. That's how Theo found her, and she gave her husband a broad smile as he came into her drawing room. "Well now love, is there something you've forgotten today?" she asked with just a hint of mirth.
