Rose had finally fallen asleep in the early hours of the morning. She tossed and turned half the night wondering if she’d done the right thing.

Yes, Wulf held her in no high regard and his opinions on the role of women were clear, but she’d seen him with Anna, seen the soft glow that could come into his eyes when passion was spent. There were many marriages built on less than parenthood and passion.

It just wasn’t what she wanted.

She roused herself out of her bed and went to the tray set before the window. A hand placed on the smooth china pot revealed that the chocolate had long gone cold. She hadn’t even heard the maid come in.

Was she wrong? Should she have said yes? It was not the marriage she had dreamed of, but there could be no better father for Anna than her true sire.

Wulf was Anna’s father.

“Wulf, Major Beowulf Huntington, is Anna’s father.” For the first time in her daughter’s life Rose spoke the words out loud. Even John had never known. He had never inquired into the circumstance of her conception, had taken the gift of a daughter and been endlessly grateful for the chance to love her.

John was gone. Not all the tears and all the wishes in her heart could bring him back. But Wulf was here. Anna’s father was here. Could she really think of searching for another man when Wulf was ready to make the offer?

She swallowed down a cup of cold chocolate, pursing her lips at the slight bitterness. She needed to think. If he did ask again what would she say? Was the desire for a well-ordered life really reason to deny her daughter her father, really reason to put aside the flickers and flames of passion that no other man could ignite?

Yes, it was. She needed to think with her head, not her heart. She would provide best for her daughter by finding a man who would give them both safety and security. She could never marry a man who did not see friendship and liking as part of package

She rang for her maid. She did have guests and, no matter the heavy thoughts that swirled around her, she had other responsibilities.
