She stroked his pale cheek lovingly. "Is that what you mean to do?"
"Don't see how I can. I've no wife."
"You might… find one."
He yawned, his eyelids drooping. "Not likely. Nadia… threw me over, y'know."

He blinked at her. "Yes, ma'am?"
"Never look so innocent. You're not that tired!"
"But I am, m'dear. Much too worn and wan to endure this merciless interrogation."
"Beast! What are your plans?"
His slow smile dawned, and the adoration in his eyes took her breath away. Then he drew her closer and dropped a kiss on her temple.
After a blissful moment, she ventured, "Gordon… ?"
He chuckled, and murmured happily, "Ask me no questions…"
