The Blackwood Heir

When Alistair first told Daphne about the invitation to Courtland Manor for New Year’s Eve, she could physically feel the blood drain from her face. To say she was hesitant was a total understatement.


But in all honesty, there were more pressing matters on her mind. 


She finally had her groundbreaking conversation with Alistair about where he stood on the notion of having children... Only to be told that he would much rather focus on just the two of them at the moment.


It made her chest swell with anxiety that would not be settled by any means. 


Daphne knew that she should have just told him. Right then and there. But hearing their conversation felt like she peeled back a thick layer of Alistair’s character. 


It was like she managed to uncover an unseen side to him that no one ever witnessed. It looked so vulnerable as he spoke about his experience as a young father. He willingly opened up about his fear of screwing up if another child was to come along.
