“You mean…” Fox sprang to his feet, caught up her hand, and brought it to his lips. “I can’t thank you enough.”

“Give the bell pull a tug, please. Foster will have the car brought around.” She smiled. “I’m in an extremely expansive mood, Mr Sullivan—I have the granddaughter I never thought I would. I want everyone to be as happy as I am right now.”

Fox gripped her hand a final time and waited impatiently for the butler to arrive. After all, he had a lover to catch up with.
