  Summary

  “You’ve never bedded a woman before?” Michaela gasped.
  “There was never any need.”
  “Need?!” Michaela laughed again, thoroughly entertained by John’s misery, “Loving a woman cannot be reduced to just a need, darling. I could say the same about myself, that there was ‘never any need’, obviously, and yet…”
  “I am well aware, Michaela,” John grumbled, “We used to share a wall. And I have given you your own wing in the castle as I hoped to be made less aware.”

  —

  Everything John knew about women, he learnt from Michaela. It should come as no surprise, then, that he would choose to marry the woman of her dreams. Missing moments from Season 3 and 4, detailing all the ways guilt layers.
