much I needed you.' He put his head on her breasts, his body
wrenched with a deep sigh. 'If you come back to me, it will be
very different this time. I promise you, Christie. Don't leave me
again.'
She put her cheek on his hair. 'You'll let me go on with my
career?'
'Yes, you can do what you like. I'll never try to coerce you
again.'
'I want to try some stage work. I might get a job in the local
rep. if they'll have me or I'll try some of the little theatres
along the coast. I don't care if I have to take a walk-on at first. I
want to learn my craft in a theatre before it's too late.'
Logan started to say something and there was a rapping at
the door in the middle of his first sentence. He stopped, looking
startled. 'Who the . ..'
Christie laughed. 'Kit,' she said. 'He wakes up early and
wants his breakfast.' She stretched with a lazy smile. 'I did it
yesterday it's your turn today.'
Kit tapped again, louder.
'I get the feeling you're starting the way you mean to go on,'
said Logan with a thoughtful look. 'Is that the way it's going to
be? Turn and turn about?'
'Fifty-fifty,' Christie said lightly but meaning it. 'Whether it's
Kit or cooking or doing the shopping. We'll need Janet, of
course; she's wonderful with Kit and he loves her. While we're
working we needn't worry about what's going on at home if
Janet's here.'
'Mummy!' Kit called through the door. 'Mummy, Daddy's
not in bed and his clothes are all over the floor!'
'His eyes are too sharp,' Logan said with a groan, swinging
out of the bed and picking up his robe from the floor. 'I'm
coming, Kit,' he called. 'Run on into the bathroom and wash and
I'll make breakfast.'
There was a silence, then Kit's footsteps trotted back into his
own room and Logan tied his belt while he looked at Christie
with naked passion.
'I love you, did I tell you that?'
'Eloquently,' she said with a husky break in her voice. 'And I
love you.' She paused, considering him through her lashes, her
lips curving in a smile. 'Will you marry me, Mr Gray?'
'This is so sudden,' said Logan, laughing. 'Do I get time to
think your proposal over?'
'Don't keep me in suspense for ever,' she said sweetly,
eyeing him with mockery. 'Perhaps I should have gone down on
my knees?'
Logan bent and kissed her laughing mouth. 'Now that's a
marvellous idea I think I'm going to like modern marriage
it's so full of surprises!'
Kit tapped again. 'Daddy?'
'Yes, Kit, I'm coming.' Logan opened the door. 'Hurry up,
we're going to bring Mummy her breakfast in bed. You can
squeeze the oranges while I make the toast and coffee.'
Christie lay back, stretching deliciously, and smiled as she
watched the sunlight dancing in the room. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
