And I need you, my love, " he said. "I need you so much that I panic when I think that perhaps I will not be able to persuade you to come back with me to Enfield. I need you so much that I cannot quite contemplate the rest of my life if it must be lived without you. I need you so much that– Well, the words speak for themselves. I need you."" To look after Augusta?" she said. She dared not hear what he was surely saying. She dared not hope. "To look after Enfield? To provide you with an heir?"" Yes, " he said, and her heart sank like a stone to be squashed somewhere between her slippers and the parlor carpet." And to be my friend and my confidant and my comfort. And to be my lover. Mary Balogh
