  “And we can change things here, too,” Hugh said with deliberate slowness. “The color or—”

  “Please, Hugh, I can’t stand it anymore!” she said with a choked laugh. “I want to see our seashore home.”

  “You know I canna deny you.” He took her hand and led her past the end of the walk and out into the open.

  She gasped at the sight, feeling light-headed. When her eyes watered, he squeezed her hand. “Say something, lass.”

  “It’s like…a dream.” The manor was stunning both in beauty—and in size. Built of dark cream-colored brick, it had classic black shutters and marble balconies fronting the sea side. The grounds were picturesque, rolling down to majestic cliffs. And the waves… When she caught her breath, she whispered, “You really can see the sun set through the water.”

  At her words, he looked so proud, as though he felt ten feet tall. “I’m glad you like it,” he said simply. “Ready to see the inside?”

  “Can we just watch the rest of the sunset?” she asked.

  “Of course.” He drew her back to his front, wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her head.

  As they gazed out together, she said, “But, it is a shame that it obviously won’t need any improvements.”

  “Oh, aye.” He chuckled, a low, rumbling laugh that was still rare, but came more often each day. She adored hearing it. “Still glad you married me?”

  “A bit,” she said, and he turned her in his arms. “I’ve only been waiting for this since the first day I met you, when you called me ‘poppet’ in your brogue.”

  “I recall that day. I remember thinking that when you grew up, you’d lead some man on a merry chase.” He tucked her against his warm chest. “Ah, lass,” he rasped, pressing his lips against her hair, “I just dinna know it would be me.”
