Life had been so dark and complicated as of late, at least she could take some solace in the weather. If there was sun, there was hope, and she clung to that hope with everything in her being. While she was pouring tea from the service, Rhys entered the room. As their eyes met, time seemed to stop entirely and a world of unspoken communication and emotion flowed between them. Last night everything had changed. The shift that had begun in the countryside had been completed when he finally confided his deepest secret and most devastating pain to her. She’d felt like his wife, perhaps for the first time. She prayed it wouldn’t be the last. “Good morning,” he said as he slid his gaze away and entered the chamber. “Hello,” she responded, as shy and awkward as she had felt after their wedding night. “Would you like tea?” He nodded as she held up the cup she had poured. Carefully she added milk and honey and handed it over. Once he had taken the brew, she dared to lift up and press a quick kiss to his cheek.
