She was not going to let this drop so easily. Of course she understood that at times it was best to be left in the dark, but she'd never let that slide as an excuse. They were a team, even if she did not bear the Mark that both he and their son carried with them. "I believe I made myself perfectly clear long ago, Lucius, that the consequences of me finding out what you've been dong mean very little to me. I would rather it rest on my conscience so that I may know what we are facing together, than be kept in the dark only to find out later that my husband might not be coming home to me."
Narcissa studied his face. The fact that he was not meeting her eye meant that what he was doing certainly must have extreme consequences should it be discovered. It did not set well with her at all; had he not done enough? Risked enough? "I am your wife, in case you have forgotten. The home I have kept for you all these years has been taken from me. Our son has been taken from me. You have been taken from me. Do not take what trust I have in you and our marriage away from me too, Lucius, for I don't believe I have it in me to bear it."
