"If I have to teach you how Jack," again the name was murmured in the French way as she turned her own face to keep it close to his own. "Then you are not the man I presumed you to be."
There was a humor in her tone that eschewed anything more overt. True, they were close. She could feel his warmth through the fabric of her gown and she imagined he would wear his scent to her own room that evening. A mere consequence of so much time spent together. But it was no more than than. And no less either. She could like this man, Reinette thought. She could like him a great deal.
For all that, to the passing observer they were well within one another's pockets. There would be talk for certain.
"Lessons that extensive will require time. I do believe I shall have to take you home with me."
