One Magic Moment (58 page)
“And then will you play for me?” she asked. “I have a lute in the solar. It’s nothing compared to yours, but it might do.”
“Later,” he said. “I believe I have business with you first.”
“Locking the doors?”
He smiled. “Nay, love, not locking the doors, but I’ll do that first.”
Tess sat in front of the fire in the great hall and waited for him. She supposed she wasn’t much for maudlin displays, but she couldn’t help a few unsteady breaths as she thought about how fortunate she was. Modern conveniences, a castle she loved, and a text message waiting for her on her phone letting her know she’d been a hit at Chevington and would she be interested in doing that sort of blending of academics and atmosphere in her own keep.
But most of all, a medieval lord walking across that hall toward her in jeans and boots, a man who loved her not in spite of who she was and what she knew, but because of it.
It was so much more than she ever could have hoped for.
