Seeing that the twins were staring outside the window, and Katherine was engaged in conversation with Devon, Helen broke the dark red wax and unfolded the letter.

Helen,

You ask if I regret our engagement.

No. I regret every minute that you’re out of my sight. I regret every step that doesn’t bring me closer to you.

My last thought each night is that you should be in my arms. There is no peace or pleasure in my empty bed, where I sleep with you only in dreams and wake to curse the dawn.

If I had the right, I would forbid you to go anywhere without me. Not out of selfishness, but because being apart from you is like trying to live without breathing.

Think on that. You’ve stolen my very breath, cariad. And now I’m left to count the days until I take it back from you, kiss by kiss.

Winterbourne
