Capítulo 63: The Arrangement

 Delaney and Vincent slept late into the afternoon. She woke before him and rang for Mrs. Crouch. The older woman came in and Delaney signaled for her to be quiet, pointing to her sleeping husband in her bed.

 Mrs. Crouch smiled warmly and nodded. She helped Delaney dress for dinner in a dark plum dress. Delaney braided her hair over her shoulder and Mrs. Crouch insisted on pinning a few sparkling gems into it.

 "Please let Harris know Lord Adair is in here and will need his clothes," she whispered to the housekeeper who nodded.

 Once Mrs. Crouch was gone, Delaney went back to her bed and sat gently on the edge. Vincent was still asleep, one muscled arm thrown over his eyes in an attempt to block the sunlight. Delaney smiled and moved closer to him.
