“Ireland is lovely,” she said, as if that were truly the topic of conversation. “You should visit,” she concluded, which was another not so subtle indication that she wanted him to leave.
Him joining her had not at all been her intention, but she didn’t move again. She wouldn’t be displaced from her own piano just as she wouldn’t be displaced from her own home. Not by anyone, but certainly not by an Hart man. With him seated so close she was made aware, once again, that she could feel him. She could feel the solidness of his body next to hers and the warmth that emanated from him. Julianna wouldn’t admit that she was immediately drawn to that feeling. Those undeniable characteristics of being alive.
He was disagreeing with her and playing something gentle for her. She was only half listening to what he was saying. Too absorbed, instead, with thinking about how she wanted to place her hand on the side of his neck and feel his pulse jump beneath her palm. She wanted to lay her head on his chest and hear his heartbeat.
“That would be quite kind of you,” she said, automatically. Vaguely aware that he had offered to do something for her. The most polite response immediately coming to mind. She supposed it was only fair given all the improper thoughts she’d been having about him. Julianna angled herself slightly, making a show of watching him play as she more solidly rested against him. “Will you tell me about your mother?”

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.
