We returned to the monastery. Deborah and Manegold talked the whole way. I tried not to listen but still overheard some of their talk.

“I feared when the knight took you.”

She laughed. “Not as much as I feared for myself and my mission.”

“What would I have told your father? The letter would be my responsibility.”

“That I died for the mission. He would understand that HaShem willed it.”

I retreated into my prayers. Holding Chione’s riding post, I didn’t worry about wandering off the road. Less than an hour later, we were back at the monastery. Kelestria came running out and threw her arms around me. The abbot followed.

“I was so worried,” Kelestria said. “I’ll never get used to you being gone.”

“Now that I have you, I worry more for myself, too,” I whispered. “But I’m happy.”

“I wish we could stay in the same cell tonight,” she said. “I want you within reach.”

I smiled. “The monastery wouldn’t allow it. Besides, I have something to tell Manegold.”

My wife raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

Nodding, I said, “I want him to have the same happiness we do. Deborah might be his best chance. At the very least, he is not fighting against her.”

She hugged me tighter.

Abbot Francis fretted. “I have asked all the monks. No one came in after you did. How did the Adumbrar get in?”

Manegold replied, “He walked in disguised before we arrived. He told me that he used a divination to know where we were going.”

The abbot crossed himself. “Fortune telling! The work of the Devil!”
