“I've decided that I would like to leave acting for a while,” she said. “I've come up with an alternative that I believe will suit me better…at least for now. I would like to make a financial investment in the Capital Theatre, a substantial one, in order to have my name put on the company's charter. That would make me a partner of Mr. Scott's…a minor partner, but one with some influence nonetheless.”
“What purpose would that serve?”
“I would be able to help manage the Capital, consult with writers who are developing plays; oversee the painters, musicians, and carpenters; work in the business office and assist in scheduling, casting, costuming…oh, there are a thousand things I could attend to that Mr. Scott never has enough time for! It would allow me to do as much or as little as I wished, and yet I wouldn't have the burden of being in the public eye. Don't you see what a perfect compromise it would be? I would still have the theater, but I would also have more time to spend with you and the baby. I would be here every evening instead of returning home late after a performance.”
“You'll want to act again,” Damon said, looking down at her hand as he played with the diamond ring on her finger.
“Perhaps every once in a while…if a role proves to be irresistible.”
“How do you think Scott will react to the idea? Could he tolerate the idea of a woman as a business partner?”
“For enough money, he'll tolerate anything,” Julia assured him with a sudden grin.
They stared at each other for a long while, until a reluctant smile spread over Damon's face. Carefully he pulled her down to the mattress and lay beside her. His hand played over her body and lingered on her stomach. “I want you to be happy,” he said, his lips brushing her cheek.
Julia tangled her legs with his. “How could I not be? You've given me so many things I never thought I would have…love, a home, a family…”
“Tell me what else you want.” Damon cupped her face in his hands and pressed a fierce kiss on her lips. “Tell me, and I'll get it for you.”
“All I want is you,” she said, her eyes gleaming. “Forever.”
“You've had that since the beginning,” he whispered, pulling her close and kissing her once again.
