This week was full of revelations to my heroine about my
hero, along with a proposal she’s long been hoping for. Alas, this is not the
end of the story, so next week will bring “complications.” :-)
Monday: “Then you
have not told me everything—have you?”
Tuesday: “I said
there were easier places to hide bells from her than underneath that heavy old
chest and after we all stood guessing for awhile what else it might be, I
remembered the silver and I said it.”
Wednesday: “I knew
it was true when his face went so red, but he slapped me and called me a
hysterical boy and said if I ever spoke such slander again I would regret it,
despite my youth.”
Thursday: “Lord
Simon said a knight can be turned for silver or ambition, but he knew my father
coveted freedom for his family above everything else and promised him enough
silver to achieve it for my mother and brother and sister and himself if my
father returned him safe to England.”
Friday: Oh, she
should not have said that, for Robert promptly disappeared again, soundless as
a cat this time.
Saturday: His
midnight eyes bore into hers with an implacable honesty. “Marguerite, if you
marry me—I do not easily give up what I have claimed as mine. If you marry me,
there will be no going back.”
