It was challenging for Henri to take time off. Even during the slowest of times he found it hard to get away. He’d been called a workaholic more than a few times in his life with just cause.

This may have been the first time he’d actually made it work so he could leave. But then again, it was the first time he’d had a good reason: Margeaux.

During the time they’d been apart, he’d thrown his heart into his work, keeping an array of women, each more beautiful than the next, lined up for his pleasure. No one had the potential to become serious. Happily single, Henri had kept his little black book in constant rotation. He’d become a master at juggling and somehow managed to keep each and every woman in his life content and coming back for more, yet safely at arm’s length.

Sydney had been the closest he’d come to settling, and he hadn’t even been able to go through with it with her. She was gone now, headed for Dallas. And though he wished her well, he’d never been more certain that they’d been all wrong for each other. He’d said it more than once but still maintained that she was a fabulous woman and deserved someone who would love her the way she deserved to be loved.

It also struck him funny that Margeaux had showed up at exactly the right moment—of course, it had been for her father and not for him. But for a moment he wondered if his hesitancy with Sydney had been because he’d somehow sensed Margeaux’s return, because deep down he’d always known Margeaux had always been the one for him. He’d never loved anyone else.

Never had and never would.

Now, as he slammed the trunk on his loaded car, he got behind the wheel and drove away from his own home and toward Colbert’s to pick up Margeaux to make the trek to Avignon that Colbert had mandated.

As he turned up the long, winding drive, he wanted nothing more than to go away with her, to get away from the hustle and demands of work. It had been wonderful meeting Margeaux’s friends. It was wonderful the way they’d stood by her, coming over here and staying longer than they’d planned after her father had passed.

But he was equally glad that they’d said their goodbyes yesterday, that they’d gone back to Texas so that he and Margeaux could have the time they needed to reconcile the past with who they were now.

He had a feeling that even though they’d grown, they were one and the same as they’d always been.
