When we finally arrived at the estate, Alfred was waiting to greet us, despite the late hour.

“Good evening, Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter,” he said with a slight bow. “I trust the gala was enjoyable?”

“It was, thank you, Alfred,” I replied. “You didn’t need to wait up.”

“No trouble at all, sir.” His eyes crinkled at the corners. “Mrs. Carter, shall I bring some tea to your room?”

“That would be lovely,” Olivia said, and I noted how easily she’d adapted to having staff. “Thank you, Alfred.”

“Very good, madam. I’ll have it sent up shortly.”

As Alfred disappeared toward the kitchen, Olivia kicked off her heels with a sigh of relief. “These shoes are gorgeous but absolutely murderous.”

“Want me to carry you upstairs?” I offered, only half–joking.

“I think I can manage,” she laughed, picking up her shoes. “But I appreciate the chivalry.”

We made our way upstairs to our bedroom suite. Olivia immediately headed for the bathroom to remove her makeup, while I loosened my tie and shrugged out of my jacket.

“Did you enjoy the gala?” I called out, unbuttoning my shirt.

“I did, actually.” Her voice echoed slightly from the bathroom. “Aside from Victoria’s commentary, it was fascinating to see that world up close.”

“The charity circuit can be tedious, but the causes are usually worthwhile,” I replied, hanging up my jacket.

Olivia emerged from the bathroom, face freshly scrubbed. Without makeup, she looked younger and somehow more vulnerable. She’d changed into silk pajamas that flowed with her movements.

“The work they’re doing for those kids is amazing,” she said, sitting on the edge of the bed. “I had no idea you funded an entire research wing.”

I shrugged, suddenly uncomfortable with her admiration. “It’s just money.”

“It’s lives. Those children
