A couple of weeks had gone by. Cora and Robert stayed in New York for the funeral. Robert made sure everything was arranged before he took her back to London.

Cora was settled in her new position and together with Baxter they worked on many new advertisements. Patrick gave her freedom in how she wanted to work. All the clients loved her work.

"Cora?" Robert popped his head around the corner.

She looked up and upon hearing his voice a big smile appeared on her face. "Yes?"

"What are your plans for this weekend?" He asked, stepping further inside. When he noticed Baxter was not in the office he walked over to Cora's desk and planted a kiss on her lips.

Since they were back in London, they had gone on several dates and the relationship was getting more and more serious. They said, that in the office they would not show too much affection towards each other, but Robert loved these stolen kisses.

Cora raised her hand to Robert's cheek. "Hi." She said with an even wider smile. She pulled Robert in for another kiss. "I do not have any plans besides doing laundry and vacuuming."

"Good." He said, his face close enough to press one more kiss on her inviting lips. He then walked back around the desk and sat down. "I want to take you up north to show you the estate and the house."

"The house my father's money will rebuild," Cora said.

Robert leaned over the desk and took her hand which was resting on the desk, in his hand. With his thumb, he brushed the back of her hand. "You showed me your family home and the home you grew up in. I want to show you mine."

Cora squeezed his hand. "I know, I am sorry. I would love to see it, when do you want to leave?"

"I was thinking, tonight."

"Tonight?" Cora exclaimed. "I have so much work left and need to pack. What time do you want to leave?"

"It is a two-hour drive, I thought to have an early dinner and then leave around 20.00 o'clock."

Cora looked at the clock, and felt the colour drain from her face. "I love you for your spontaneous idea, but I cannot be ready tonight. There is so much work left."

"You love me?" Robert teased. "What is the deadline of what you are working on?"

Cora raised her eyebrows. "Friday next week."

"Good." Robert got up. "I will pick you up around eight."

Cora stepped outside, Robert could arrive any moment. She realised that she did not know what kind of car he drove. She had only been in the company cars, with John as their driver. But Robert said he would come with his car, without a driver.

A luxurious-looking car stopped and Robert got out. Cora had to force her mouth shut.

"What do you think?" Robert said with a beaming face.

Cora was not sure what to say. It was adorable how excited Robert was about the car. But she had no idea how special the car could be. She knew Rolls-Royce was a luxurious brand, but not if this was a special model or something. "Nice car." Was all she could say before Robert continued.

"It is the ghost Ékleipsis brand new. This will be the first trip with this car."

Cora smiled, Robert looked like a kid in a candy store.

"Welcome, Milady." He opened the car door for her, put her trolley in the trunk and got in on the driver's side. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Are you excited for this trip?"

Cora put her hand on Robert's knee. "I am." Robert's excitement was enough for her to forget her worries. She had repacked her trolley several times. Did she bring the right nightwear? The right clothes? She did not know what they were going to do, so she packed nice clothes for a fancy restaurant, but also clothes to wear for a day outside.

It did not take long for Cora to dose off, Robert looked at her sleeping figure and he could not be more content. How did he get so lucky to have Cora in his life?

It was a shame they would arrive this late in the evening. It was not worth it to drive up to the house now. Robert drove to the pub where he reserved a room. It would be weird, he never slept somewhere with less than four stars, but it felt romantic.

Robert parked the car and gently woke Cora up. "We arrived."

Cora needed a minute to wake up. "I was far away. I am sorry."

"For what?"

"Well, I was not what you call an entertaining travel companion."

Robert leaned in for a kiss. "No, but you were a very cute one."

Cora scrunched her nose. "I bet I was snoring."

"Oh, but your snoring was cute." He brushed his nose against Cora's. "Let us go inside, I could use some sleep too." He paused and suddenly looked scared, leaning back in his chair.

"What is wrong?" Cora asked worried.

"I booked one room, but I forgot to ask if that was what you wanted."

"Are you kidding me? I hate it when you sleep at home during the week. I sleep better with you next to me." Her hand went to his knee.

"Good." Robert was relieved, he hoped to get closer to Cora this weekend. They still had not done anything else than kissing and cuddling.

Robert got out and walked around the car to open Cora's door, he loved that she waited for him to open the door. She was not expecting it from him, but when she noticed his intention she waited for him. She let him be a gentleman to her, and he adored her for it.

Cora took his arm and they walked to the pub. "Do you think my Mama, will one day be happy for us?"

Robert stopped walking, her question surprised him. "Both our Mamas need to understand, that they started all of this. I am at the point where I do not care about their opinion. Your father was happy for us, and so is my father. Our mothers have to accept the fact that I love you." He turned towards Cora. "I mean it. I love you."

Cora got on her tiptoes and kissed Robert. "I love you too."
