((Yay! ;D Now, how to lead into it...))
Yeah, I tried too. He did say a couple of things, but he was totally spaced out. *She bit her lip, her free hand unconsciously moving back up to the ring and closing around it tightly.* How long did y'all wait to write me? Until Aunt Micaela told you where I was, or...

Oh. I see. I was so worried, that afternoon when I got it, because I was in Ireland, not Manderley, and I was afraid I might not get back in time...So I left the next day, on the first boat out.

Yes, of course there were, they came in and out until 9 every night. Wh-oh. OH. Um. I took the first one out the next morning, and...*She saw that he wasn't convinced.* I can explain, Teddy, really, I-

"Look, just tell me. Whatever it was, I'm sure it was a perfectly good reason."

It was! It was...a fantastic reason! Really!

"Okay, spill, then," he said, giving her an expectant look.
