I hope you like what you see. W.

He certainly possessed much prettier penmanship than hers. And more cryptic intentions. What could she see from here?

She looked at the note again. It was dated three days ago. So he had been here, personally supervising the setup of the telescope, knowing full well it would be completely under-utilized.

And the angle the telescope had been set at was also too low. What could she see, so close to the horizon, except perhaps Venus and a rising moon?

She removed the covers from the eyepiece and the lens and looked—and gasped.

The telescope pointed straight at the Roman folly. At first she thought there were two people on the belvedere, but they were only dress dummies, one covered in a large swath of pink fabric, the other in something that resembled a man’s evening jacket—the way she and Lord Wrenworth had been dressed when they first discussed being naked and up to no good upon that particular belvedere.

She barely restrained herself from laughing aloud. The man’s villainy was adorable.

She walked into the dining room hoping to thank him, only to learn that she would have to take luncheon by herself, too, as his lordship was out inspecting roofs that had been damaged by the storm during the night. She sighed. Adorable villainy and responsible stewardship—could a woman ask for any more in a husband?

After luncheon, she made a dent in the mountain of thank-you notes that she must write, approved menus for the next week, then spent an enjoyable hour in the library, where she discovered an entire dossier of older issues of Astronomical Register: A Medium of Communication for Amateur Observers and All Others Interested in the Science of Astronomy.

A most pleasant start to married life, she must admit.

Which would only become pleasanter as day turned into night.
