Re: Meeting the missus
A wave of relief washed over him when she told him he hadn't hit her. He regarded that as at least one godsend, as he didn't think he could ever face her again if he had done that.
"Clearly I didn't deserve it," he said, feeling her fingers tighten on his hand and looking down. He lifted her hand to his lips and pressed another kiss to it. "Your love. So thank you, for still believing in me."
