Julianna may have lost the day, but she had not lost the war. That is exactly what it was now: war. It was her against the Hart who thought he could occupy her family’s home. She let him sleep through the night. She’d found his determination to defy her to be somewhat amusing. Falling asleep with the comforter up to his chin with all the lights on. She had frightened him, and that was a good sign.
She watched him sleep. She didn’t have anything better to do. It had nothing to do with how attractive and peaceful he looked. Attractive and peaceful weren’t words she would normally associate with a Hart. Insofar, this one wasn’t much different than the others. Julianna hovered over him, while he slept. Her presence nothing more than and annoying chilly aura, not that he really noticed while he was sleeping.
“Why are you here,” she asked no one. She settled onto the bed, again, sitting next to him, but not disturbing him. She was mostly weightless. She peered down her nose at him. Her gaze traced the line of his nose and the curve of his lip, across his chin and down the line of his throat.
Unthinkingly, she settled one of her hands on his neck. Just above the hollow of his throat, her fingers curved over his skin, his Adam’s apple pressed against her palm. It was not quite the way it had been done to her, but it could have been effective nonetheless, had she actually wished him harm.
She didn’t not. Just because she didn’t like him, didn’t mean he deserved to die. The one who had ended her life had long since passed himself. He’d not nearly gotten what he deserved, but Owen didn’t deserve to take his place. She returned her hand to her lap. “What possessed you to buy this house.”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
