Katherine was late getting up. It made a nice change from her college timetable with her early morning starts, driving through the Oxfordshire countryside and then walking through the streets of Oxford to St Bridget’s College.

‘What’s it looking like out there?’ she asked from the deep, warm folds of bedding as Warwick drew the thick red and gold curtains back.

‘Deep and crisp and even,’ he said. ‘The perfect Christmas Eve.’

‘Come back to bed!’

‘I’ve just got to write something down.’

Katherine sighed. Warwick was like a jack-in-the-box when he was writing the first draft of a novel. Meals were interrupted, phone calls were cut short and he’d be in and out of bed several times a night sometimes.

She watched as he reached for a notebook and scribbled something down in his scratchy handwriting that she frequently made fun of.

‘You really should’ve become a doctor with your handwriting,’ she teased.

‘As long as I can read it,’ he said, closing the notebook a moment later. ‘Okay, what’s on the programme this morning?’

‘I suppose it’s too cold for the “Undressing Mr Darcy” session, isn’t it?’ Katherine said.

Warwick grinned at her. ‘Probably but you might be in luck because I hear there’s an “Undressing Warwick Lawton” show instead.’

‘Oh, really?’ Katherine said with an arched eyebrow.

‘Yep!’ he said, slowly peeling off the jumper he’d put on for his early morning writing session. ‘Only this session is for an audience of just one.’

‘Let me think,’ Katherine said. ‘Can Warwick Lawton possibly compete with Mr Darcy?’

Warwick strode across the room and leapt into bed beside Katherine. ‘You’re forgetting something very important,’ he said.

‘What’s that?’

‘Mr Darcy can’t do this to you.’ And with that, he kissed her for a very long time indeed.
