Benedict was happy. Truly, deeply, incredibly happy. Today had marked the day where he and Sophie were married. After all the time that had passed, all the doubt, all the longing, all the heartache . . . they were now together. Sharing the sacred union of marriage, never to part. It was truly a beautiful thing and he wanted to take advantage of every moment, for he would not take a second with her for granted. Today had been wonderful as it was their wedding day, sharing it with their family. It had been a quick wedding, for now that he was able to be with Sophie . . . why wait? Why prolong it when they could start their forever together sooner. And the sooner, the better. ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ Which is why they were going to celebrate their honeymoon at a place of great sentiment: My Cabin. Only this time, they were travelling in a proper carriage, not a phaeton. And this time, the weather was far more agreeable and Benedict did not have to worry about a head cold. This time . . . it was different. Even the carriage ride here had been wonderful, enjoying the teases, the playfulness, and just the joy of being together; now being married. Benedict did not wish to deal with the ton and the gossips they would inevitably spread about their union -- as his mother had warned him. He longed only for Sophie, to be with her and that was all that mattered. Holding her hand in his, they were nearing their escape from the world, and he could not help but lean in to place a few light kisses upon her cheek. ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ "I should inform you," he began to say between each kiss, a smile upon his lips -- an expression impossible to fade considering how happy he was. "That I gave Mr. and Mrs. Crabtree the night off." So that they would have the place to themselves, just like they did the first night they'd arrived. Only this time, they could use it more productively for they would not be strangers, and Benedict would not be suffering from a fever. He assumed that the couple would have left dinner for them and would return in time for breakfast -- as he did not want Sophie working in the slightest. But tonight . . . he wanted her all to himself without any others about. Tag ali Note: Better layout coming soon! Let me know if you'd like me to edit anything! Cue the honeymoon!! |
