Nora  by Diana Palmer

“That is enough small talk. Shoot him, please. You may shoot him in the foot, if you prefer. Through the heart would suit me better, but I am prepared to be lenient.”

“Please go away,” Nora said politely. “My husband is groveling. I quite enjoy watching him grovel, and I am selfish enough to want to prolong it. When he has groveled to my complete satisfaction, I should love to come.”
