Ah. Wife it was, then. Halloran couldn't help letting out a fairly deep laugh at the mention of having stolen her away from a rich family. There weren't many who would admit to it as openly as he had, and it spoke of more than that. A man who'd married for love rather than station. Though it might have been wrong of him to think it, given his status, he thought it was right. "So the truth comes out," he mused, standing and smoothing the wrinkles from his coat. "You've been sent to do the shopping." He could barely contain his mirth at the notion of actually being allowed to tease someone.
