Re: Belvina/Stephen
"It was hardly as if we were allowed to leave the house and have our own romances," Belvina said with a small laugh. "Romance novels were about as far as we could get. I think most of us hoped we'd have a suitor sweep us off our feet but I was more practical than most of my friends. If a man was dashing, rich and well-bred then he would have been known."
His description made her mouth go oddly dry and she suddenly felt embarrassed. In a month's time or less, Stephen and Andromeda would be living that life. "I hope you find that level of affection with your wife. It sounds," Idyllic? Unreal? "I think she'd like it."
