"I can see why you would want that," she said and smiled. "It would be nice if I had a little girl then she had an older brother to watch over her when I couldn't. It wouldn't be bad if it were two girls or two boys, they would probably do the same. I would hope to send them to school as well. Both of them, I would teach them how to read and write. I suppose that having two children would not be so bad. I have never had a sister or a brother, I envy those who do." Lucy paused as he kissed her, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the short moment before pulling her lips away from his. "If I did have to settle down in a village or if I had to travel. I think that I would enjoy teaching children, women and men how to read and write, I would not charge them. I would feel bad, no one should have to pay for something that is needed in this world."

Lucy brought her free hand to the side of Jude's face, she caressed his cheek with her thumb. "You wouldn't want anyone but me?" she chirped. "Are you sure about that? We have only just met but you feel that strongly about me?" her heart fluttered in her chest. "Jude," his name danced on her tongue. It felt sweet to say it. "I know that you would never do anything like that to me."
