1 - Preparations
It was a hot afternoon in July. The sky was blue, for three days there was no trace of cloud on the horizon. Heat crushed the city and all prayed for a storm breaks soon to cool the burning atmosphere. Detective Murdoch had taken his afternoon. The police station was quiet and did not have enough fans to please everyone. Thus, he had left the lunch hour to join asylum. He had gone with his wife, in her office, although cool. They had a long walk at the lake, beneath the maples, birches and plane trees that provided shade. They then made their way to their hotel. They had made their toilet and they dressed to go to a reception that evening.
Julia stared one last silver clip in her unruly hair to glance in the mirror of her dressing table. Then she got up to join her husband who was standing next to their bed. She gently smiled at him hesitate between several ties posed on the covers. She tenderly approached him rush in his back and put her chin on his shoulder.
-The blue one, the young woman whispered in his ear.
-I wear it at work, I wanted something more distinguished ...
Julia laughed before tenderly kiss him in the neck and move away from him to take up the blue tie.
-It will match perfectly with my dress, the young woman replied, smiling broadly before making a step towards him to hold him the collar of his shirt and pass the tie, and so everyone will know that I am Mrs. Murdoch. You will be very elegant with blue.
-I thought you preferred Dr. Ogden? William replied tenderly, smiling. It is only me who has the right to call you Mrs. Murdoch.
She did not answer and she just smiled back before establishing the tie, before he puts his hands on hers.
-Julia, I am quite able to tie my ties.
-I know, but I like to do it myself.
She finished her task and gave him a triumphant smile. Then she felt her husband's hands rest on her hips and draw against him.
-You like to retire them, grumbled William in her neck before kissing.
-William, stop, Julia murmured without conviction, we will be late.
She heard him muttering again and she looked up at the ceiling, tempting not to succumb to the assaults of her husband.
-We can report this, this evening, Darling, she said the young woman, I hate being the last arriving.
William stood up and sighed deeply.
-Julia, we will just miss the speech of the Director of the hospital, I still have time to make you dance for hours, there will still be enough champagne and people to talk to. You are so beautiful and ...
-Perhaps , but it takes me one hour to prepare myself and this because of my husband who refused to see me dressed. I have not do this for nothing. And above all, I want to take my time tonight, I want to enjoy every second spent in your arms.
He gave her a sad look and she just laughed, stroking his cheek.
-I have also a surprise for you and for that, we should not go too late.
William frowned and walked away only to regain his speech.
-What kind of surprise?
-You will know returning Murdoch. Can we go now?
-Come ahead, he murmured before Julia kissed his lips and draws him out of the room.
They thus took their hats and they left the hotel where they were staying arm in arm. They took a carriage directly opposite, visiting a mansion in uptown Toronto. As night slowly fell on the city, the couple entered the huge house, from attending an evening by Victoria Hospital charity event which Dr. Ogden had received a personal invitation from the Director.
