My parents believe my dedication to our correspondence a girlish preoccupation, but I know it as my soul’s breathing and heart’s confession, sent to you. I feel as though I know you more so than words on paper. You are brave and honourable and certainly as handsome in character as I deem your appearance. Emotion this dedicated and incontrovertible cannot be denied. Glory. All other descriptions paled. Livie stepped from the Earl’s embrace, dazed and exquisitely delighted. No longer insecure or unsure, for hadn’t he kissed her with the truest emotion? She touched her fingertips to her lips as if to prevent the feeling from fading, then dropped her hand, all too aware he could likely discern her actions. A first kiss was a miraculous thing. An occurrence to be remembered always and cherished, no matter where life’s journey led; and she’d experienced her first kiss with the most perfect man; handsome and strong, with the ability to charm her to the core. She’d had opportunities before, in Shropshire and once in a shadowy corner of the library here in London, but something always prompted her discreet denial with an underlying belief her first kiss would hold magic if only she sustained patience.
