Summary
Rupert loved her best on the days when only their little family was at Penscombe Court, Marcus down from the city and Tabitha on a weekend from uni, their little girls wreaking havoc in the gardens while Taggie baked and Rupert pretended to not be on the brink of humiliating, incredulous tears that this had become his life.
Or, almost fifteen years into their marriage, Rupert is a little introspective and a lot in love with his wife.
