Love Above All
“Someone, either Braedon or one of the other squires, had divested him of his heavy chainmail and his gambeson, so he wore only his linen knee-length under-breeches. From the bucket of dirty water near the cot Fionna guessed he had made an attempt to bathe. His hair was damp and his face and upper body were clean.

“He’ll be here in a moment. Let me look at it.” Fionna sat next to him and pulled his hand away... from the wound.
“It bled freely at first, which is a good sign,” Quentin said.
“Yes, I know it is.” Gingerly, she poked at his arm above and below the wound. “The bleeding has stopped now, which is a better sign.”
“Yes.” His fingers rested on top of hers.
She looked into his eyes, then found she could not look away.
“You could have been killed,” she whispered, horrified by the possibility.
“But I wasn’t,” he said, smiling a little.
“I am so glad.” Still his eyes held hers.MoreLess
