Theo chuckled. 'Was it worth waiting all day for?' he asked, winking at her even as he made himself comfortable by her side. 'And Pansy,' he said, taking another sweet and holding it out for Padma. 'Never got to be my wife, so she wouldn't know the lengths I'd go to to keep you happy.'
For a moment he wondered if he ever would have done this if Pansy had been his wife, and to be honest he hardly thought so. First of all Pansy wasn't the picnic type, but most of all - most of all Pansy wasn't Padma. Whatever it was he'd once felt for her, it was not at all what he felt for Padma.
