Emily absorbed his words, searching for the meaning. "People can change for the worse, too."
"Joel?"
"How do you know what I'm thinking!" She laughed. "But yes."
"And he might change again, once he's out of prison. But arson is a long, long sentence, especially with the kids in the house."
She nodded. She had been surprised, and upset, at how many years Joel had been sentenced to. "Anyway, you've always said that people can change."
"I know. But now I understand it."
"Have you been at the cooking sherry in there?" Emily teased him, but smiled to take the sting out of her words.
"Cheeky mare." He pulled at her waist, and she let herself fall into a deep kiss, eyes closed and heart beating hard.
When she broke away, flushed and warm, he pushed her off his lap, and she squealed in mock annoyance. "Hey! I thought that was heading somewhere…"
"Not yet." He glanced at his watch. "It's time for lunch. And then… well, it's a long drive down to London, and those tickets to the musical were bloody hard to get, you know."
Emily's stomach fluttered. This time, she wasn't going to let anything spoil the weekend away, and she went back towards him, holding out her arms so that he enfolded her once more in his embrace, and she nuzzled against him, and felt safe in his promised future.

About The Author
Isabella Brooke lives in London, England. Her romances explore the emotional complexities of lust and love. These novels might be escapism but they're always rooted in the feelings we've all experienced.
She unwinds by walking in the local parks with her husband and her dogs, and making the most of London's museums and galleries.
She loves to connect with readers and writers - so find her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/isabella.brooke.author. She also wonders why these author bio things have to be written in the third person. She's not Yoda.
