<div style="text-align: justify;">Catherine sighed happily when Thad held her tightly. She was <span style="font-style: italic">home</span> now, for her home was not this house, but wherever Thad happened to be. Catherine felt happy, even though she knew they would never be allowed to be seen together. They would have to hide forever. But they would be together. Nothing else mattered to Catherine.<br/><br/>Hearing those words, <span style="font-style: italic">love of my life</span>, warmed Catherine’s heart so much she wouldn’t have needed the fireplace. Feeling her cheeks burn, Catherine decided they should get to have their honeymoon. Her <span style="font-style: italic">real</span> one. He deserved a honeymoon, much more than George did. <br/><br/>And she would give him one. They would have time, and love each other. For this night, and every other night they could spare. They would live in the present for now, and plan their future when they could.<br/><br/>As Thad stopped right next to the bed and cupped her face, Catherine looked up. She felt the air heavy in the room, with the electricity between their bodies. It was unique, delicious, a feeling only Thad could provoke on her. Her insides felt warm, her cheeks felt hot, and she felt like she had been waiting for this moment her entire life.<br/><br/>Looking into Thad’s eyes, Catherine sighed and laid herself on <span style="font-style: italic">their</span> bed, keeping her gaze on her beloved. Holding out her hand, Catherine waited patiently for Thad to lay over her. <span style="color: #40FFFF">“Worry about nothing, my love”</span>, she murmured kindly. <span style="color: #40FFFF">“Just do of me what you wish”</span>.</div>
