"Vivienne… you look troubled." Uther Pendragon noted seriously. The woman offered him a sad smile. "It has been months, as you know, since I've last seen my husband. The Northern Plains seem so far away. He seems so far away." She sighed. Uther took the opportunity to grab one of her thin hands.
"Please, try not to think of him. He is away on duty, you know that." Seeing as though she did not look reassured, he added, "Gorlois is a strong man, one with morals and an indomitable spirit. He will succeed, I know it."
"I know the fact as well as you do, Uther. I am merely feeling… lonely."
Uther felt the blood rush to his face. Why was the Lady Vivienne so attractive? Why did she choose to wear that silk dress, the one that clung to her figure as if it were wet?
"As am I."
Vivienne placed her hand on the back of Uther's neck and stared at him. "Your eyes were once so kind, so gentle. They seem almost… tired."
"I am tired of being alone." he stated factually. Uther grabbed both of her small hands in his calloused, larger ones. It all happened so fast. In the end, one half of the affair was left with a broken heart, while the other half was left with a broken heart and a then unborn infant.
