A great wave of relief and happiness washed over Anabel as she rested there, and she nearly cried at the joy of their reunion. How could she ever have overlooked Christopher’s perfections? she wondered again. He was everything she wanted in a man. “Are you all right?” he said. “Yes, I am perfectly all right now.” “I came as soon as I could. It took a deucedly long time to find out about this house.” She raised her head from his shoulder. “How did you find it?” “I knew you must be in London, so I bribed his groom to tell me where.” He shrugged, and she smiled. “Come, I must get you home. They are worried.” Keeping an arm around her, he started toward the door, then stopped. “What is it?” “We have no carriage. I took a hack.” He looked so chagrined that Anabel burst out laughing. After a moment’s indignation Christopher started to smile, then he laughed with her.
