Whisper me our future.
I can’t bear to think about a future anymore, not without you.
Then keep me in it. Tell me about our happy lives.
I wanted to give you children.
Aren’t they playing outside? Don’t you hear them?
Francis…
Our lovely children. Anne… and James.
Yes. Anne and James.
Anne takes after you. She’s so strong and beautiful. She’s fast as lightning. She… She never lets James win.
When they chase each other around the castle, that’s right… Anne always wins. It’s all they’ll talk about at dinner. She wants your praise. And after dinner, your usual game of catch with Anne, James will want your attention, too, with his reading.
I’ll have him work on it.
You promise?
