There was a strange flash of nostalgia that crossed the duke's eyes when he finished telling the story of his first encounter with the woman who would eventually change his life.
A silent atmosphere formed between father and daughter as each were lost in their own thoughts in quiet contemplation.
"What… what happened after?" Sophie tentatively asked.
"That crazy woman took me back to a cave and spent weeks nursing me back to health while also repairing my damaged meridians," the duke replied.
Sophie was a bit confused by this change of events. She was under the impression that her mother wanted to kill her dad on the first meeting.The duke saw the question marks forming on his daughter's face and reluctantly clarified what happened next.
It was unfortunately one of the most humiliating times of his life….
