Heh. Backsies, what a funny word to hear in this context.
I need to fix that you had the impression she didn't love her husband. It's supposed to be later--and she is in love with him. I may be just a tad reactionary to all the manga with BAAAAD relationships (i.e.: abusive, or completely problematic), so quite a few stories I've been working with have this theme of not going with the forceful one.
I think this needs to be less short, and with description, I'd also add more of his own "Rake" cynicism of the world. (Heyer reactionism, too?) It's supposed to be genuinely happy for him. If not pleasurable.
