Re: Audrey/Mac
"He was dead, Audrey, for twenty-four years. And when he came back, no matter how much I told myself not to get involved again, I couldn't help it. But no, I am not going to marry him any time soon." And not only because Colin was still a student and the press would have a field day.
"I'm not going to marry anyone else either, darling. And I'm not saying I don't find women attractive, there have been one or two through the years I could have seen myself marry. There have been men too, but nothing serious. Colin is different. He's mine the way Percy is yours." He didn't want to explain himself, but he wanted her to understand. She was his big sister in everything except name, and her opinion meant a lot.
"I'm only telling you now, because if something does happen to me I want him to be able to visit the estate, if he wants to. I've shown him the horses, and he loved it there. I don't want him to be shut out." He could only hope she would understand this.
