75 Chestnuts

I thought the Duke was joking, but he doesn't touch me again for the rest of the journey.

He does lend me his body to warm myself and stay comfortable, but he doesn't ask anything in return. He uses to sit in a corner, and I place my head on his chest and sleep without worries.

He pecks my forehead so many times, and he embraces me often. Still, nothing more than that.

I don't know if it's normal for a man and a woman to stay so close for so long and not fall in temptation, but I'm not going to guess. After all, my husband said he's tired.

I don't know what he's tired about, by the way, since I was the one that did everything.

However, I observe the scenery greedily as often as I can. Some days I stay hours looking out.
