The Way I Am (VIII/X)
Title: Sew On Patches Rating: PG Length: 203 Character: Wyldon Summary: Every time she thinks she knows him, Wyldon surprises her.
The last thing she expects to see, when she comes into the bedroom, is her husband sitting up in the wee hours of the morning, darning socks. But Wyldon does this, and glances up at her when she begins to undress.
“You may as well give me those breeches, too,” he says. “You’re ridiculously hard on your clothes.”
“Perhaps you remember what it’s like to be a knight, good sir?” She tosses him the trousers and slips her nightshirt on. “Don’t you have any number of servants who could handle this chore?”
He shrugs. “I don’t mind doing it.”
“You’re an odd one, Wyldon of Cavall.”
He smiles slightly. “Vivenne used to maintain my clothes when I was in the field,” he says slowly, always a bit reluctant to bring her up. “It was a sign of her affection, I think. So I wondered what it would be like to show you that same form of love.”
Instead of climbing into bed, she crosses over to the chair where he sits and drops a kiss on the top of his head. “When I ride off to Corus tomorrow morning, I’ll think of you, and know that your stitches and patches ride with me.”
