Her uncle did not require kisses, though George did offer one to her aunt.

Letitia kept her arm linked tight with his as they celebrated with glasses of wine and when Collin congratulated them, there was real happiness in his voice.

“I think you will make my friend very happy, Miss Blackstock.”

“Thank you, Mr. Clarke.”

And when they left too late that night, Miss Blackstock’s uncle returned the favor and distracted Collin while Miss Blackstock followed George out into the darkness, shutting the door softly behind her.

Her hand found his, her skirt brushed his leg, and her breath puffed against his cheek.

He closed his eyes, wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her, and he was happy.

When he opened his eyes again, they’d adjusted to the darkness and he could see the smile on her face. See her happiness as well.

“Letty?”

She pulled back. “Yes, Georgy?”

“Twiggy?”

Her fingers grazed his lips and she whispered, “I like Twiggy.”

“So do I.”

“I like you.”

“I rather gathered that when you agreed to marry me.”

“I don’t know why I like you. And to be honest, I don’t know why you like me. Not this me, the real me.”

He wasn’t entirely sure either. Except he thought she might have been made just for him.

Made to stand toe to toe with him.

He said, “We’ll think on it, and perhaps have an answer before we actually wed.”

She leaned against him, whispering in his ear and slipping something into his hand. “Maybe this will help. You did say a short engagement?”

He nodded, feeling her cheek slide smoothly against his own and realizing the item she’d given him must have been the twig that had once again been in her hair.

He let go of her, putting her bodily away and reminding himself that he was a man of the cloth and the walk home would do him good.

Reminding himself yet again that they were going to have a very short engagement.

Twiggy called out softly, “I’ll dream of you tonight. And figure out why.”

George decided abruptly that he and Collin would take the long way home.
