Earl of Woodcliffe: Wicked Earls’ Christmas Page 7

by Aileen Fish


  Stephen’s condescending smile made her feel like a child. “My father is young still. I don’t plan to make the cavalry my living forever. I’ll take over the farm when I return from the Continent.”

  Living. She knew he meant income, but in the context of battle it meant something completely different to her. “You don’t know that you’ll come home. You might…die.” The word created a painful lump in her throat but she was able to keep her tears at bay.

  Laughing softly, Stephen plucked at one of the curls her maid had worked so hard to create. “I have no intention of dying in some field so far from home. I’ll be back before you even notice I’ve been gone.”

  That was far from the truth. In her heart she would feel the moment he left. She would have an empty place in her heart that wouldn’t be repaired until he returned. “I will wait for you.” Her voice was barely above a whisper, her words meant for him alone.

  Tipping his head to one side, he held her gaze and she wondered what he was thinking. Most likely he thought her a childish ninny. Yet his lips spread in a warm, kind smile. “Then I look forward to calling upon you when I return. And to standing up with you at that dance.”
