“But all either couple will want to discuss is their infants.” Wesley’s disgust with the coming two weeks was evident.
“That might be true, but you should try to listen closely,” Anne answered with a soft smile and a delicate gesture toward her own midsection.
Ever sharp-eyed, Wesley’s gaze narrowed on his wife. “Are you trying to tell me something? Or trying to avoid telling me something?”
Anne laughed, joy clear in the sound. “I was planning to wait a little longer just to be certain, but I’m fairly sure you’ll soon be irritating Grey and Spencer with your own conversations.”
Wesley pulled her into his arms to demonstrate to her just how happy he was with her news.
“I knew the moment you turned those defiant kitten eyes on me after Alex and Rose disappeared that you were going to turn my life around.”
Anne burst into laughter. “Turn it on its head, you mean.”
“It needed turning, my dear. It wasn’t right until you turned up into it.”
They could feel the carriage slowing and turning into the drive to Heath, and they faced forward, looking into a very happy future.
The End
About the Author
I’ve been writing pretty much since I learned to read when I was five years old. Of course, those early efforts were basically only something a mother could love :-). I put writing aside after I left school and stuck with reading. I am an avid reader. I love words. I will read anything, even the cereal box, signs, posters, etc. But my true love is novels.
Almost ten years ago my husband dared me to write a book instead of always reading them. I didn’t think I’d be able to do it, but to my surprise I love writing. Those early efforts eventually became my first published book – Tempting the Earl (published by Avalon Books in 2010). There were some ups and downs in my publishing efforts. My first publisher was sold and I became an “orphan” author, back to the drawing board of trying to find a publishing house. It has been a thrilling adventure as I learned to navigate the world of publishing.
I believe firmly that everyone deserves a happily ever after. I want my readers to be able to escape from the everyday for a little while and feel upbeat and refreshed when they get to the end of my books.
When not reading or writing, I can be found traipsing around my neighborhood admiring the dogs and greenery or travelling the world with my favorite companion.
