Captive Heart
“the tall seneschal said as he left me at the door to the modest chamber. “One of his daughter’s handmaids will be in to attend you.”
My pack had already found its way in and the handmaid followed soon after. Once I was in my nightshift, though, I dismissed her, preferring to bear my thoughts of Nessie alone.
The distant peal of abbey bells was a comfort as they chimed the familiar offices. It was just past Vigils when the antechamber door creaked open. I thought it was my handmaid come ...to stoke the brazier or check the privy pot. But the one who entered was decidedly male. Marrok or Gareth stolen to my bed. Although by fire and shadow, the form seemed… “I’m very much sure whoever you thought to find here, sir, I am not she. Be gone or I shall scream.”
“Lady Lynette, I come in the name of Sir Persant, my father. I bear a message for your ears alone.”
“Your father? At this hour?”MoreLess
