The Enchantress
“Standing beside the Highlander in the small chapel of Blackfearn Castle, Laura kept wondering if she was about to awaken at any moment. The sound of the provost’s voice droning on in Latin and in Gaelic, the smells of the candles and the incense, even the faces of the few who had crowded into the tiny space...it all had a dreamlike quality to it.
Surely, she was about to awaken.
Gilbert Ross paused, but Laura was too embarrassed to look up and meet the priest’s gaze. Just as she’d been ...too jittery to return the nods of approval of the well-wishers who had gathered outside the chapel.
What must they all be thinking? she wondered. Everyone must know the truth. They must know that she and William had spent the night in her chamber. Why else would no one even look surprised at the hastily arranged wedding?
No planning. No period of courting, asking, waiting. No discussions between family. No reading of the banns of marriage.MoreLess
