Shaking his head, he squeezed her hands gently. “My love, I am happy to have a girl. The Langleys have produced only boys for centuries. ’Tis time a little girl joined the ranks and I am proud to provide her.” He bent to kiss her gently, and then sat up and added, “I guess this means the curse definitely is ended. I can hardly raise a daughter to be a woman hater.”

“You are not a woman hater, my lord,” Lisa said, smiling and relaxing now that she knew he was pleased to have a daughter.

“No I am definitely a lover of women,” he agreed, leaning his forehead against hers and adding, “And you are the one who taught me how to be one.”

“Oh, I do love you, Robert,” she whispered, slipping her arms around his shoulders.

“And I you, Lisa,” he assured her. “Thank you for my daughter. And for being patient enough to let me learn that I loved and trusted you.”

Lisa responded by kissing him. He suspected she had intended it to be a light brushing of lips, but as always he couldn’t resist deepening the kiss. When she pulled away with a groan, he rubbed his nose against hers and whispered, “How long until we can begin working on a little sister for Sara?”

“Well I would really rather wait a year or so to recover from this birth, my lord, before having another,” she said dryly. “But we can begin practicing soon I’m sure.”

“Practice is good,” Robert said with a grin, and kissed her again, but this time keeping his passion in check. They had a lifetime to practice. He was looking forward to it.

“Have fun,” Carolyn muttered, starting up the walk to the lane. “Yeah, right.”

Honestly, the longer she was here the more Carolyn regretted coming . . . and it had only been a little more than twenty-four hours. But so far, she’d had an uncomfortable meal with Genie and strangers, gone to bed early, got up early, and sat on the beach alone with a book . . . mostly in the shade because everyone knew the sun wasn’t good for you. She hadn’t been reading the book, but had basically pretended to, keeping it propped on her chest while she watched the people around her under the cover of her sunglasses.
