A few hours later, watching Xena descend the stairs prior to leaving for Peter’s, Harry couldn’t help remembering Flute’s innuendoes and fervently wishing they were correct. As she joined him in the front hall, clad in the same midnight-blue evening gown she had worn at Wellington’s do, he was struck anew by how very beautiful his wife was. So alluring were the creamy shoulders and throat displayed by the low-cut dress, he had to swallow convulsively in order to moisten his suddenly-dry throat to speak.

“You, ah, look quite nice in that gown. The color suits you,” he finally managed, then mentally cursed himself for the clumsiness of the compliment. One would never guess he had a reputation for being smooth-tongued with the ladies.

“Thank you. You’re very kind, considering you saw me wearing it only four nights since. I fear it is the only evening gown I currently own, though I hope to have another delivered in a day or two.” She smoothed the silken folds self-consciously.

Delivered? By whom? Harry stopped himself from asking the question aloud. Despite his suspicions, he had no proof she was carrying on an intrigue with anyone. For the moment, he would give her the benefit of the doubt. An argument would surely ensue were he to start flinging accusations and he wished her first visit to the theatre to be a pleasant one.

“Shall we go?” He extended his right arm.
