If you’ll rise?” He pressed her to her feet, then slid from the chair and dropped to one knee. He took her hand in his own roughened one. “You will not be offended by the truth?” She looked down at him, this kneeling duke, with his odd, deliberate ways. There was simply no one else like him, and she loved him for that. “I might. But I want it anyway.” He worked shaking fingers between hers, then gave a sharp nod. “Here it is. Eleven years ago, you married an old man who wanted to cheer his last years with a nubile young wife. I have no expectation of dying soon, so I am quite prepared to see you grow haggard and fat over the forthcoming decades.” A crack of laughter burst from her throat; his mouth creased in a barely suppressed smile as he added, “My finances are adequate without the aid of your fortune. And—forgive me for mentioning it—but my bloodline is more noble than yours too.” “This is hardly a litany of praise.” “It’s the truth. And so is this: that there is only one remaining reason for me to offer you marriage. I love you.” His grip about her fingers tightened. “For many years, I had no talent for using my heart, and so I never bothered with it—until you entered my life and showed me the pleasurable bits of life that I was missing. How much sweeter is work when there is someone to play with at day’s end. How a small kindness can grow to touch everyone around it. Everything is better with you near.” The walls around her heart were weak now, indeed. “I want to believe you. So much. But I know your nature is solitary. How can I be sure you won’t tire of me and toss me aside like a Carcel lamp?” “I would never toss aside a Carcel lamp.” She couldn’t help but laugh.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Theresa Romain" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/theresa-romain/i-see-a-smile-played-on-his-lips-i-must-do-the-thing-properly-then-if/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/781/theresa-romain-35737_life_i-see-a-smile-played-on-his-lips-i-must_707778.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/781/theresa-romain-35737_life_i-see-a-smile-played-on-his-lips-i-must_707778.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/781/theresa-romain-35737_life_i-see-a-smile-played-on-his-lips-i-must_707778.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I see.” A smile played on his lips. “I must do the thing properly, then.
