Chapter 51: I am in your debt.

Pierre and Nora were shown to their suite of rooms and they were already sleeping in the comfortable four-poster bed by the time the others sat down together. Winter was already setting in and they were close to each other in the oversized bed, cuddling. Nora’s nausea had finally subsided, and she was feeling like a whole person, to the great joy of her husband. They decided to stay at the Almaida castle until after the birth of their baby before they continued their journey to his house in France.

He had already sent a letter to his mother and sister, informing them of his marriage and the pregnancy and wrote that they would join them before the next winter. He explained that Nora was extremely ill on the voyage and he did not want to cause her or the unborn child any more distress.
