Eleanor bit her 81ff002f97 lip.
Trapped beneath his gaze, 1eb95ec598 with nowhere to run, a0e32ac644 she found herself unable 222817fe76 to control her expression 6c395184d4 as she usually did.9f244b78e4c2c550

Eleanor wanted d22d98b959 to sneer b67c1388a0 at him.

She understood 232e0488eb what he cc9d2f6655 meant.

His breath drew closer 6e53c72c29 still, brushing at last 101df06041 against the nape of a447270b6a her neck.

That tender contact—so c95a0f1c36 gentle it made 10a0f4ecbd her heart ache—made 3d40199bc7 it easy to 25f739b557 fall into the 37c5fb67a7 illusion that he bc534d514c was simply desiring b068171185 his wife, craving 893d3f90a6 her like any b0c5a5bb2b man who loved c8264b0ace his spouse would.a7195c5d3837dbc4

From the very e628d3dbf4 first moment they fe5c63e45d met, this heart a1cb74a27c had beat and d0fe2f58a9 faltered because of 784ccbadbb him.
He had d2ae882b79 saved her, 3f15ee956b and she 39e950a6bf had saved 6736231cd9 him.
