Title: No Lies Between Us
Rating: G

James confessed. Everything.  “I don’t want lies between us,” he explained.

Miss Turner’s lip set in a narrow, hard line as she listened.  “So she either lied then or is lying now.”

James hung his head, his heart throbbing painfully.  Then a light, warm hand settled on his.  “I do love you, James, but you need to speak with Father.”

Yes, very few of the characters are unimpeachable.

I sort of secretly think that she figures everything out, but I guess girls were supposed to be dumb in Victorian fiction

Yea! You're back!

Yeah I have mixed feelings about James. I would like to see Violet Eyes do a bit better for herself.

You're so kind. Work and life have been cray-cray (and will likely be so again very soon) but thankfully I have some time this weekend.

“So she either lied then or is lying now.” That's a good point - James' wife may have lied about their marriage being bigamous because she didn't want to be connected to a possible murderer.

And nice to see you round the place again ^_^

I have been lurking about, missing you all horribly, but so swamped with semesterly things that I can't even read a nice ACD mystery.

Hello again:-)
Yes, unsurprising that suspicions are raised...

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Hey! Yes, but perhaps they do not want to black cloud of blackmail and murder and bigamy following them about.

[debriswoman]

Understood:-)
Not a good start...

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Better to understand than not to find out until after blackmail murder baby junior is born.

Good work on, and from, both of them. And they both show their canon characters, too.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ACD gave a lot to work with.

A very wise way to start a life together.

Indeed! A little wisdom is needed after their previous excitement.
