At his office at Taar-Breck’s embassy, Andrew disconnected from the video call that had eaten up more than an hour of his time, leaned back in his chair and smiled broadly. So far, his day was going well. Caroline’s joyful response to seeing that little bird of hers back in one piece had been greater than he’d expected. Her whole face had lit up and she’d looked as though a weight had lifted from her. Although, with all the drama yesterday, he was sure he hadn’t yet seen Caroline at her best, there was something very likable about her. They may have got off to a less than favorable start but he was convinced they would eventually make a very good couple.

He’d just finished speaking with his mother who was excited to hear that he would be bringing his new wife home soon. She’d been thrilled when he announced that he was going to honor the marriage contract he’d made with Caroline’s grandfather and that he would finally settle down and take his place at the heart of Taar-Breck’s ruling family. For several years now, she’d been trying to persuade him to spend less time away and now that he was getting married, he felt it was the perfect opportunity to make some changes.

His mother, of course, hadn’t been overly concerned about any of that. Although she’d asked about the trouble Caroline had found herself in, she’d cared more about when she could expect to hear the patter of tiny feet. Andrew hoped she wouldn’t plague Caroline with incessant hints about wanting grandchildren. There was plenty of time for that and he wanted his new bride to settle into life on Taar-Breck, which would be quite different to what she was used to, before even thinking about becoming pregnant.

He was pulled from his thoughts as Bryn came into the room and stood stiffly on the opposite side of his desk. Andrew gestured for the other man to sit.

“Your call went well?” Bryn’s tone was conversational but, as he took a seat, he did not relax his posture even a little.

“Yes, it’s been a successful morning.” Andrew allowed himself a brief moment of self-congratulatory reflection. He’d managed to find a seamstress with access to the most exquisite silks who’d agreed to
