Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

Leaving London (and Duke) was extremely difficult as every fiber of my body protested against it.
I told myself that we will see each other in a couple of days in Paris, but it didn't ease my heartache.
To make things worse, Duke came with me to the airport, looking like an abandoned puppy. He was holding my hand and kissing it desperately, and then he would pull me into a tight hug, and we were both a mess.
I was not a bad guy.
It's normal for couples to be apart for some time. It's only for a few days!
Besides… just staying locked up and isolated (and naked) can't be healthy. We need this time apart so that I can get myself together.
Yes, I love him, and yes, I want to be with him, but do we need to go at it all the time, like rabbits?
