Because it was just what she thought herself, Alvina made a murmur of joy.
Then she asked:
“How can you think ... exactly as I do? How can you believe as I ... believe? And how can you ... want what I want?”
“The answer to that is quite simple,” the Duke replied. “We are one person, my precious one, and when you are my wife you will find that our life together will be very full, very exciting, and indeed very satisfying, because together we are complete.”
Alvina gave a cry of sheer happiness.
Then he was kissing her again, kissing her passionately, demandingly, possessively, and she could feel his heart beating frantically against hers.
She knew as the moonlight within them seemed to intensify until it filled the whole world that there was nothing else but their love.
They had passed through great dangers to find each other, and neither of them would ever be alone again.
