Jude muttered as she sat down beside Maude's grave. 

"She wants to be told she's beautiful, sexy. That she looks outrageous. It doesn't matter if it's not true." 

She sighed and laid the flowers against the headstone. 

"Because for the moment, when the words are said and the words are heard, it's perfect truth."

"Would you take them as they're offered from the man who knows he holds your heart, or would you rather the words?" 

Dazzled, she lifted her head. The fire and spark still sheened her vision, but she saw how dark, how fiercely intent was his gaze as he studied her. She said the first thing that came into her head, because it seemed the only thing. 

"What are the words?" 

And he sighed, long and deep, his proud shoulders slumping, his eyes going soft and sad. 

"So it's true, then, they matter so much."

3 A.M.

"It's all right," he murmured.

At three A.M., when spirits often stir, Jude huddled in bed under a thick quilt with a pot of tea on the table and a book in her hand. The fire simmered in the grate, the mist slid across the windows. She wondered if she'd ever been happier.

I suddenly realise I don't care. I can't manage to make myself into an Austen heroine, because in the modern world, you need more than good principles to guide your own conduct, and it's not sufficient in your colleagues, friends and lovers, either.
