Ransom
“She and Alec had waited in the abandoned church for almost twenty-four hours now, and that was surely long enough for the laird to reach her, if he had been so inclined.
She felt ill and knew that if she sat down she probably wouldn’t have enough strength to get back up again, and so she paced up and down the main aisle while she thought about their circumstances.
“We’re going to have to leave soon,” she told the little boy. “We simply cannot continue to wait.”
Alec sat on a chair with his legs... folded under him watching her.
“You don’t look so good, Gillian. Are you sick?”
“No,” she lied. “I’m just weary.”
“I’m hungry.”
“You just ate.”
“But then I threw up.”
“Yes, because you ate too fast,” she replied.
She went to the back of the church, where she’d placed her cloth satchel and the basket of food her dear friends the Hathaway brothers had stolen for her. She glanced out the window and saw Henry pacing about the clearing.
