“I’m sorry,” he said once more. “But I’m back for a while and I promise I won’t go away this time without telling you first.”

“Mummy really missed you. I heard her crying too. Daddy missed you as well. He never said it, but I could tell that he did.”

Arcturus lifted her face from his shoulder. “I love you, Dorothy. And I always will.”

“I love you too,” she sniffed. “And it’s okay—you can call me Little Dot if you want.”

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” said Dorothy. “Now where’s my present?”

Dinner was often a lavish affair in the Mengsk household, held in the oak-paneled dining room and comprising several courses, a wide selection of wines, and a grand fire burning in the iron grate. Angus Mengsk sat at one end of the long rosewood dining room table, with Katherine at the other end and Arcturus in the middle to his father’s right.

Dorothy sat opposite Arcturus and sipped from a cup of fresh apple juice. As was customary, Pontius sat at the table next to her, with his own place setting. Arcturus and his father had shared a glass of port before dinner, a breach of etiquette under normal circumstances, but Angus had never liked doing things by the book—a trait he seemed not to know that he had passed on to his son.
