Highland Brides 03 - On Bended Knee
“Although her kinfolk had not known Seana’s da, Meghan bade them all take a day of mourning in respect for him and for Seana. And though Seana knew very well they hadn’t known her da enough to shed a single tear for him, seeing their show of respect somehow soothed her.
She left the manor, filled with people, to come outdoors and find a moment’s solitude to reflect upon the day’s events.
She had always supposed her da would die some day and that she alone would be the one to bury him and to mour...n him.
Having braced herself for his death long ago had not made the reality of it any easier. Colin’s presence and comfort, and Meghan’s care, had been the keys to keeping her sanity today. Meghan had told her a thousand times, if once, that she was brave, but she was not. Inside she felt terrified and alone. For the first time in Seana’s life… she was truly alone.
The night was foggy but warm and she slipped away, into the mist, unobserved. No one would miss her, she was certain.MoreLess
