Summary
"Welcome home," she said, and heard the brittleness in her own voice, the mockery of the sentiment.
"This has not been home for some time, madam. For either of us."
Then he was gone, and Elizabeth was left in her carefully claimed sitting room, staring at a book she could not read, wondering how they had arrived at this--two people bound together by law and circumstance, which neither could escape, circling each other like wounded animals in a house too small for their shared misery.
***
Trapped in an unhappy marriage, Elizabeth learns how to love her husband.

Summary
"May I have you tonight," he plainly asked, standing in the doorway and offering no solicitations. She did not understand why the question was posed, when she had no recourse to reject him. Even if she could deny him, she was well aware her only chance of surviving this marriage depended on offering him a child.
***
Married in haste after a compromise forces them together, Elizabeth attempts to survive an unwelcome marriage--one night at a time.
