King Edward Love Chair Novels & Stories

Go. Edmund had arranged three chairs in his sitting room with the deliberate quality of someone who had known there would be three of them. Tea on the table, actual cups rather than mugs, a detail that communicated a generation's worth of assumptions about how significant conversations should be conducted. He sat in the chair nearest the window and looked at them with the attentive, unhurried quality of someone who had been waiting sixty years and had no intention of rushing now that the wait was over.
