“But I saw Pa’s smile and it was hard to argue with that, and harder still to deny the cause: Camilla. I wanted so many things, but I was surprised to discover at their wedding that one of the things I wanted most, still, was for my father to be happy.
“In a funny way I even wanted Camilla to be happy. Maybe she’d be less dangerous if she was happy?”
