The Maid of Lorne
“She’d paced for hours after her return from the chapel, the tension inside her gripping her stomach. Refusing the meal sent up for her and the children, she chose to go back over everything her cousin had said during their encounter. Then she’d wrapped herself in her cloak once more and propped herself in her father’s chair and tried unsuccessfully to sleep.
Now here she was, under the thick covers on one side of an obviously used bed. Pushing her hair back, she peered around the room, looking ...for telltale signs that Sebastien had indeed shared the bed through the night. The trunk where he kept his clothing was open. The other pillow bore his imprint. Indeed, the other side of the bed still bore his warmth as well. Sliding her hand over it, she thought on how he continued to move her each night without her waking.
As soon as she climbed off the bed, Margaret entered with water for washing. Another servant followed with a covered tray.
