What a wheen of background - you've enough here for a novel and I agree with Glenna that those two are so well suited it is a pity not to let them have a happy ending together! I was so caught up in their world I had almost forgotten Napoleon too.

That's a good line about Napoleon wanting all of him without offering all of himself, and brings it back very neatly to what presumably will be a greater love story. But you have set yourself up for a lot more writing!!!

Patience is a virtue, and the next turn is worth waiting for.
