He rubbed his hands along her cool skin when she shivered against the cold air wafting in from the window, and then he gently ran his fingers through her unbound hair. “Your hair is like silk, quite befitting a goddess of the dawn.”
She laughed. “You’re mistaken, my lord. I’m no goddess, merely a purveyor of poultices.”
“You’re a healer of damaged hearts.” He cast her a breathtaking smile. “I knew you were special the moment I set eyes on you, but didn’t dare believe it. We’re married less than a week. Your new gowns aren’t even ready yet.” He kissed her where they stood, bathed in sunlight. “But I’ve fallen in love with you. Not just in love. In everything with you. I’m in happiness. I’m in hopefulness. I’m in lust with you. Most of all, I awoke beside you and felt in peace for the first time in years.”
“Oh, James.” Her voice trembled as she spoke. “That’s a lovely thing to say.”
“It still isn’t enough. You’re all that’s important to me. You’re my sunrise, Sophie. You’re my morning light. So that’s what I shall call you from now on. Sophie, goddess of the morning light. That’s what you are. My Sophie. My salvation.”
