After making some friends, life becomes less tedious.
I've exchanged letters with Shannon Lynn a couple of times before the tea party. I also hear from Anne Mary Wilhelm through her husband.
Jeffrey Wilhelm visits my Duke rather often. I don't like it. Why does he need to stick around my husband? Doesn't he have a fief to manage or official duties to carry on?
However, I can't complain to Alexander because he's always careful that I don't lack anything. When we can't see each other during the day, he's especially dedicated at night. When we cross paths in the afternoon, he stops whatever he's doing and walks to me for a greeting.
I've gotten used to suddenly becoming the centre of his attention, so I don't blush in embarrassment when strangers stare at us and wonder what has happened to Lord Kyre.
