"Rose R, eh?" Caius asked, looking from the letter to her.
"Yes," she replied. "Ravenor."
It wasn't a formal or official letter; she didn't have to include her entire title. Originally, she was going to sign it with just her first name, but she knew he would be petty about it.
"I know what it means."
Rose met his gaze. "Do you not approve?" she asked.
"I never said that," Caius replied as they locked eyes, stepping even closer, knowing she couldn't step back with the desk behind her.
"It is appropriate, isn't it?" Rose asked. She wasn't sure if he was teasing her or if she had made a mistake in her letter.
"Very much so," Caius replied, his gaze lingering on her face.
Rose narrowed her eyes. "Exactly, we are married after all, and I took your name."
"Hmm, indeed you did." His hand lifted, brushing a strand of hair away from her face.
