Dear Thankful for newfound love, but needs to reclaim some
solitude!,
All you need is love… and some “me time." You’re not
alone in your concerns about spending lots of time with your
partner, wanting space, and needing more alone time to nurture
your sense of self. Every relationship has ups and downs, and you
may not always be in sync with your partner. Maintaining a
balance between your needs and those of your partner takes
practice and is an essential component of fostering a healthy
relationship. Fortunately, there are many ways for you to express
your needs without hurting your partner’s feelings. The key is
honest communication.
It seems as though your partner has expressed the ideal amount of
time he wants to spend with you - now is the time for you to do
the same.

FAITH DEVLIN: A poor, outcast child in Prescott, Louisiana, she'd
always adored the town's golden boy from afar. But he called her
white trash that sultry Southern night when his rich, respected
father disappeared, along with her pretty Mom. Now Faith wanted
to hate Gray Rouillard...not to feel a powerful surge of desire.
But she couldn't quench her passion, any more than she could hide
the truth about the past she had waited so long to unravel.
GRAY ROUILLARD: Even when he raised hell, he did it with style.
Reckless, charming, and backed by Rouillard money, Gray
controlled the town of Prescott - and Devlin was a name he never
wanted to hear again. But when he gazed at Faith Devlin, all he
saw was a swirl of tangled sheets and her silken flesh beneath
him. To care for her was impossible, unthinkable...because Gray
Rouillard planned to use all his power to ruin her.

Early 18th century. England is at war with the French.
Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A
frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her
close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her
stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper.
When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm
endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and
Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As
the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah,
Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s
companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to
fulfil her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or
rabbit stand in her way.
