"I don't think that one was in my father's library, or if it was, I did not chance upon it." Julia mumbled softly. Oh dear, she was going to ruin whatever good impressions she might have made so far, what with her uselessness and now her mumbling. Her mother would have scolded her for behaving so. She should be the epitome of poise and grace, not some timid, unsure ninny. There was only one use that was really important for a wife, her mother had told her so plenty of times, and that was children.
Oh, but she couldn't even do that right. Julia had no reason to believe she was barren, of course, but Liam hadn't even wanted to consummate, so she couldn't help but feel she'd done something wrong. Obviously she wasn't alluring enough. How was a woman to be both virginal and seductive for her husband? He'd insisted it wasn't a lack of appeal on her part, but a desire to become more familiar with each other before becoming familiar with each other. She really wanted to believe that, but couldn't completely ward off doubts about her desirability.
"I'm not sure that counted as your question. I think it is still your turn." Julia said weakly, hoping she could come up with a better answer to a question, not to mention a good question of her own.
