He should have expected the look on her face but Art felt like he couldn’t breathe as he watched her, waiting for a blow that didn’t come. Oh. He should have seen this coming. She wasn’t going to fight with him here in the carriage or outside; she was going to wait until they were in the house.
Arthur wanted to leave again.
He steeled himself and scooped Gwenog into his arms as they left; she settled against his shoulder. He almost hoped that she would wake but she stayed sleeping, settled peacefully against his shoulder long enough for him to stop into the nursery and set her down in her crib. He stepped back outside into the hall to face his wife.
He was still at a loss and closed the nursery door behind him, and gave her a look that was, if anything, overwrought and helpless.
