This is entirely the fault of augrah, who gave me the idea of this pairing a while back. The idea came back to me the other week while I was reading the book, and this happened for me to inflict on the world. And, since it's her birthday this weekend, I couldn't resist.

I'm sorry to have taken so long! One scene was a nightmare to write, and I had a random one-day job at the Burghley horse trials (which was so exhausting I went straight to bed at about half past eight), and then one thing after another just got in the way.
