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.

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.

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

“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 ^_^

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

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

A very wise way to start a life together.

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.

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

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ACD gave a lot to work with.

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

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

[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.
