“Perhaps it is your dear Mama.”
“Mama would love you as much as I do,” she replied stroking his golden brown hair.
Taking her glass from her, Sir Peter put his arms around her and held her close. Neither of them was aware of anything else in the room.
But if they had, they would have seen that Ellen had discreetly ushered everyone outside.
“Darling. You will be returning to London a married woman. I cannot believe my good fortune.”
“And mine. Love is the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world.”
They kissed. Their hearts flowing over with the love that Marina knew would last from now into the hereafter.
“Forever and ever,” she murmured, as Sir Peter’s soft lips found hers once more. “The Heavens will be as full of joy today as we are, here on earth.”
“Forever, my darling,” he answered and held her as if he would never let her go.
