   Summary

   i'm sorry but i have three weeks of holiday and i'm not afraid to use them.

   When a dinner conversation drifts toward memories of the late Viscount, Colin grows quiet and Penelope begins to suspect that her husband’s silence hides something far deeper. At night, in the privacy of their room, Colin finally shares a secret he has carried since he was twelve: the last words his father ever spoke to him.
