Okay, so I don't know why everyone is giving this short story such bad reviews. I actually really liked it. I gave it four stars because it was written very well and I love reading about the Victorian era. I love how they wear these massive gowns and how they are just so hard to get into. But never forget the chaperone that cannot leave you alone for one second so you have to run away and hide from their watchful eye. Ah, love it!This short story is basically about two mourners who have lost their spouses. Clara lost her husband and Reggie lost his wife. They both died in the other's arms.  It turns out that their spouses were cheating on them with each other. When they passed away, Reggie invited Clara to live with him in his country estate for as long as she desired. They had feelings for one another but never acted on them until now. Clara is pregnant but her husband never knew. He died before she even had the chance to tell him. She was never unfaithful to him. She loved him but now had feelings for Reggie.I actually saw this story as very sweet. Reggie gave everything to Clara that she wanted when she was mourning and he grew to love her. He wanted to be the father of her child and care for the both of them even though the baby wasn't rightfully his. Even pregnant woman need a little love. She was six months pregnant which I am sure isn't that big. He wanted to marry her and have a family. What is wrong with that? Whatever. It was a great free short story. And I recommend to all who have a taste for passion.
