"I've been at loose ends since I finished editing your journals," she explained, "and I found I rather missed writing."

  He was smiling as he leaned forward. "What are you working on?"

  She blushed; she wasn't sure why. "A novel."

  "A novel? Why, that's brilliant, Penelope!"

  "You think so?"

  "Of course I think so. What is it called?"

  "Well, I've only written a few dozen pages," she said, "and there's much work to be done, but I think, if I don't decide to change it overmuch, that I will call it The Wallflower''

  His eyes grew warm, almost misty. "Really?"

  "It's a little bit autobiographical," she admitted.

  "Just a little bit?" he returned.

  "Just a little."

  "But it has a happy ending?"

  "Oh, yes," she said fervently. "It has to."

  "It has to?"

  She reached her hand across the table and rested it atop his. "Happy endings are all I can do," she whispered. "I wouldn't know how to write anything else."
