“You have never been more wrong,” Samuel said. “I can write a book when I am eighty. I won’t be able to make a child then.”
“You might,” she said in a reflective voice. “Some men are capable.”
“At that age?”
“You are probably one of them.”
“I can’t see it. I would never get a page done.”
When Lily awakened the next morning, she knew by the light on the floor that she had overslept. And that Samuel had gotten up at his usual time to go to work. She wrapped a sheet around her like a toga and slipped out of bed.
At his desk she saw the freshly inked paper he had left her.
Lily,
You are my wife.
My heart is yours.
But do stop editing my work.
I love you,
Samuel
P.S. The last sentence of the next book reads: Temptation does not have to end in tragedy.
Thank you for inspiring me.
