*She laughed*
"White, I suppose."

"Aaaaaaand... sugar or milk in your tea?"

"Milk."
*She giggled*
"At least we know each other's names."

"Lemon. And yes... but I don't know your middle name."

"Rose."
*She shrugged*
"I've never used it much."

"Johanna Rose Barker." *He said, letting it roll off his tongue, conspicuously missing her married name. In his accent, it sounded almost exotic, and very much romantic.*
"Mine's Leopold. And whenever I hear it all I can think of is how my mother used to yell it across the house whenever I was in trouble."
((I can't help it, he's got a French accent when he speaks English in my head. One of the really cute one where you just want him to talk for ages.))

"It's beautiful."
*She hesitated*
"And did you ever love someone before?"

**LATER**
*He hadn't bothered to properly dress himself. He had nothing to do today; no social engagements, no meetings with his solicitors. So he sat in his library, a glass of brandy next to him, only dressed in his trousers, waistcoat, and a shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. His hair was still tousled and his head was in his hands.*
Good God what have we done?
*Everything was at stake now. At least before they could pretend he'd been helping her merely out of altruism.*

**EVEN LATER**
*Eventually, Johanna joined him in the library*
"Raoul, I wanted to apologize about what happened."

*He looked up from whatever it is he'd been doing, a little confused. Then of course he remembered.*
"It's fine, Johanna." *He said gently, standing.*

"I should have waited, I know..."
*She looked down*
"You've been too good to me."

"I..." *He didn't quite know what to say, really.* "I was raised to help those in need."

"Is that all? The only reason?"

" ... no. I cannot say I have acted entirely out of moral duty." *He admitted.*
