She did a mock-dramatic move flinging herself back in her chair to stare up at the high-lofted ceiling with a sigh. "But that's not going to fix the country. First things first, though. We need the house fixed up for two. And we have an early start and a long day. Looking at the rafters reminded of that. And a very stubborn mule of a man from all things I've heard to convince that our way is the right way. I should probably get some tea and wind down to sleep, and you should too."
She lifted her head and looked at him. "Besides, I need to put all my shiny new pretties away." And graced him with a brilliant smile.
