Circle of Honor
“Yesterday’s encounter with Adam had provided her with a terrible night’s rest. She felt unsettled and more eager than ever to leave. Thoughts of the kiss they’d shared and the promises held within—promises that must not be kept—assailed her. Surely you can’t want this, Father.
Pushing aside the food, she fought the sense of abandonment Daron’s absence fostered. Why was it taking so long to hear from him? She refused to believe he’d left Scotland without her, but surely the messenger had had eno...ugh time to ride to Altyre and return.
Tears threatened. He must be dead, as Adam feared. And if so, how would she leave Moy? Could she convince Adam to take her to England? Not likely. After yesterday’s meeting in the cove, it was clear there was an attraction, one she feared was strong enough to make her forget her promise to Edward. But was it strong enough to make her forget that Adam was pledged to the king she hated? Or for him to forgive her deceit?
Seeking a diversion from these thoughts, she left her room with her guard in tow.MoreLess
