Some time later, after Daisy had restored herself with food, they lay on the Duc's bed, watching the setting sun color the sky an in-tense pumpkin-orange, exchanging kisses and endearments. Touching on the subject of Daisy's leaving with a cautious objectivity, Etienne said, "What if you have my child? What then?"

"I won't."

"How can you be so sure? These things happen."

"Not with me they don't."

Leaning on one elbow, he looked down at her, flushed and sated in his bed. She was the epitome of femaleness, lush and opulent and fertile. "Does that mean something?"

She looked directly at him, her dark eyes grave. "It means I'm taking something to assure it doesn't happen."

"You don't want my child." The thought hurt him more than he imagined because lately it was constantly in his mind.

"Under the circumstances, I don't want your child."

"And if the circumstances change?"

"They won't."

He shrugged and sighed, a small rueful acknowledgement. She was right… at least now and for the immediate future. Isabelle was relentless in her refusal, in her threats and thwarting. "If they did," he said, very softly, as sensitive as she about the legalities in a country which had only allowed divorce seven years ago, but too deeply in love to care, only wanting her to .share his sentiments.

"If they did," Daisy said, her voice hushed and low, thinking that more than delaying legalities would have to be overcome, "I would love to have your child."

"Our child."

"Our child," she whispered.
