  “So am I,” Wesley Fletcher whispered. He sat in silence for several moments, then rose to his feet. “It’s time I returned to my office. I’ve been gone long enough.”

  Will and Ginny rose. “Thank you for meeting with us,” Will said as they walked Wesley out of the cemetery.

  “It was my pleasure. Thank you for everything you did for us. Ralph and I will have completely different lives now. I can’t tell you how freeing that is.”

  “Now that you’re starting different lives, I’d like to invite you and Ralph to dinner Sunday.”

  Wesley’s face took on a respectful expression. “That’s not necessary, Miss Wattersfield.”

  “But it is,” Ginny said, unable to hide her smile. “Lucy would like nothing better than an excuse to cook a big Sunday meal. She feels that her true talents as a cook and homemaker are wasted in the shop.”

  “If you’re sure,” Wesley said.

  “I’m positive. We’ll see you Sunday, then.”

  “Thank you,” Wesley Fletcher said, then walked away from them.

  When he was out of sight, Will reached for Ginny’s hand and brought it close to him. “Are you playing matchmaker?” he asked.

  Ginny raised her eyebrows. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said as innocently as she could.

  “I think you do, Ginny. You think Wesley Fletcher and your sister Lucy are perfect for each other.”

  “What about you, Will? Do you think they’d get along?”

  “I don’t have an opinion one way or the other.”

  “I think you do,” she said, holding on to Will a little tighter. “I think you agree with me.”

  “What I think is that Wesley Fletcher doesn’t stand a chance.”

  “Whatever do you mean, inspector?”

  Will laughed, then gathered her in his arms. “I love you, darling girl.”

  Ginny’s heart swelled in her breast. “And I love you, my dearest joy, my knight.”

  Somewhere across time much rejoicing was taking place.

  But Ginny heard the only voice that mattered.

  His voice in her heart.

  About Laura Landon

  Laura Landon enjoyed ten years as a high school teacher and nine years making sundaes and malts in her very own ice cream shop, but once she penned her first novel, she closed up shop to spend every free minute writing. Now she enjoys creating her very own heroes and heroines, and making sure they find their happily ever after.

  A vital member of her rural community, Laura directed the town’s Quasquicentennial, organized funding for an exercise center for the town, and serves on the hospital board.

  Laura lives in the Midwest, surrounded by her family and friends. She has written nearly two dozen Victorian historicals, thirteen of which have been published by Prairie Muse Publishing and are selling worldwide in English, one in Japanese, and several in German. Two are Scottish historicals.

  In October 2012, Laura experienced an amazing day when Amazon’s Montlake Romance published not one but three of her newest novels. Two of these have been optioned for publication in Russia and Turkey. Several are also available in German. To date Montlake has published seven of Laura’s Victorian historicals and Kindle Press three.

  Always beautifully set and with a mysterious twist or bit of suspense, Laura’s books average a million pages a month read by her loyal readers.
