Olivia and Marcus Luttrell had married for love and opened a small practice, but the corner house was full of unpaid bills, tired servants, and a baby called Dot. If I teach through another term, the practice can keep its doors open and Dot can keep her nurse. You step into this one-chapter preview with Olivia Luttrell at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Open the door, Marcus; we can decide the future after we have helped the person waiting. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
