My captor wasn’t back in our tower when I returned but it was just as well. Hawk gave me more water to wash, and even provided a few herbs. After he left, I purified myself and the room. Tossed away my old gown and bloodied pelts. Built up the fire, unbound my hair.

Hawk hollered up before he entered the room. When he saw me, he whistled. “Well, now.”

I blushed. I’d prepared myself like a bride. I’d done more for my captor than I’d done for Dòmhnall. “I hope it works.”

Hawk set a full pitcher of mead and a plate of meat down where I directed. “If it helps, I’ve not heard him laugh in a long time. Not like he laughs around you.”

I snorted. “He laughed when I tried to slit his throat. Not sure if that’s a sign he’s more a man than a fool.”

“You’re the only woman who ever dared take a knife to him. Or fight him at all.”

I gnawed my lip.

“Are you afraid he won’t forgive you? He already has. I’ve never seen him look at anyone like he looks at you. And you him. You’re not as afraid of him as you pretend.” He wagged his finger at me.

“His presence, it’s potent,” I admitted. “Feels like fire, or strong mead.”

“That’s love, I expect.”

I shot Hawk a sharp look. He laughed and rapped the table before heading out. “Don’t worry, lass. If anyone’s strong enough to love a man like that, I reckon it’s you.”
