Well, Sparrow got in before me and picked up all the points I was thinking about *g* The contrast between the joy of the beginning and the sorrow of the ending... it was nicely balanced and although Etienne's withdrawal was hurtful, Lucie's acceptance of it was somehow even worse - that even a 'perfect' and long-lasting and still passionate relationship still has places that cannot be shared... Kincaid's proposal and Lucie's prohibition, Xavier's ploy with wiring the money, and I'm with Sparrow on seeing Aisling as a more likely culprit (well, more likely if you've had the glimpse of her future). Lovely pair of chapters. And still lots of questions unanswered. *g* That's good.
