 It is time for her to move on. I would not presume to... You are an honorable and kind gentleman. You will protect her and bring her joy. And should you ever decide to marry, I would give my blessing. I could never ask her to give up her devotion to Cuthbert. But does she know that you are waiting for her? Why? Is she so consumed with mourning the sunset in front of her that she isn't aware of the sunrise behind her? I would need to wait until she is ready to have a service for her husband.
