Richard sat down only to have the smallest Gardiner stand up in her chair and address him. Apparently, she’d had another question spring to mind. “Mr. Richard,” Sarah insisted, “how do their parents sing to them at bedtime?”

She was instantly reprimanded by her mother, and she dropped back onto the seat with a thump.

“Well,” he answered thoughtfully, “I can show you, but only if you behave at dinner and get ready for bed before I leave.”

“How?” Sarah demanded.

“I happen to know a few songs in French,” he told her, “but only for kids who are in bed on time.”

He felt Jane’s eyes on him. “You sing, Richard?” she asked, a small smile gracing her face.

“Enough for a lullaby,” he demurred. “Hopefully it won’t give her nightmares.”

Her smile grew wider. She unfolded her napkin and placed it on her lap. “I’d like to listen to that, if I may.”

Richard just nodded. “I can take it if you can, Doc.”

Jane smirked and reached to serve Sarah.

He tried not to stare and was largely successful, if Ed Gardiner’s neutral glances were anything to go by. In addition to Jane Bennet’s smarts, which he deeply appreciated, she was physically stunning. Light blue eyes, creamy skin, golden blonde hair, a figure both trim and womanly. The kind of woman who was really more in Will’s league than his own. His eyes lingered on her perfectly shaped lips for a split second before he blinked and turned back to the table. He took the salad bowl and held it out to her. After they both served themselves, she put the bread plate down and turned to face him.

“I’d like you to call me Jane, if it’s all the same to you,” she told him quietly. The small smile that appeared on his face made her heart beat a little harder, and she smiled back.

“Thank you, Jane,” he said gently.
