Anne was visibly shaking. Henry decided to use it as an excuse to hold her tightly to him, and did not hesitate to wrap his arms about her, beaming at her apparent excitement. "Yes," he answered with utmost certainty. "Steady, my love. I am right here." Her chest was against him now, heaving a little as she breathed more heavily, and he could barely keep from closing her mouth in his in a smothering kiss. He hoped she felt all right with him being this close to her, but knew she would not dare to push him away.
