Something must be truly exciting for her to be acting so rashly. Anticipation overtook him as he watched his tiny wife begin to jump up and down. She raised both hands high above her head, frantically aiming for someone's attention. A tad late he had spent a ridiculous amount of time picking out her favorite flowers and daydreaming on the way to their meeting place.Īs he crossed the final street to Gunther's, he watched as Lucy waved wildly in the other direction. Hunter pulled out his pocket-watch and examined the numbers. Never a conventional bride, she didn't care a whit about propriety and often kissed him in public, much to the ton's dismay. He crossed the street and smiled, thinking of the way she would throw her head back in laughter and leap into his arms. Knowing he lacked the maturity of romance, given his young age of one-and-twenty, he had poured countless hours into this meeting, into her surprise. Hunter would be gone for weeks at a time, spending many sleepless nights tossing and turning, aching for Lucy, the Royal Duchess of Haverstone. And after being married for a year, he could no longer manage being apart from her. Yet Hunter could not bring himself to deny her anything. She loved flowers - the pink frilly ones that made a man roll his eyes in disgust.
