The Primrose Bride (33 page)

“
Not nearly so beautiful as you are, and she
’
s gone at the core. I
’
m happy to tell you that her father is going to ship her off to his sister in Singapore. She
’
ll hitch up there in no time. Now forget her.
”
He bent again and looked down at her.
“
This is our honeymoon, my lovely
darling.
You
’
re all mine, and for a while there need be no one else in the world but you and me.
”

“
Tell me again that you love me.
”
