"I feel my place is here, with Bella. Can you forgive me for that?" Abigail asked as she clasped Brianna's hand. In the courtyard around them, the men readied the horses for their departure from Lee Castle.

"There is no need to apologize. You are doing the right thing. Bella needs you."

"Then why do I feel so guilty about abandoning you?" Abigail said haltingly, her gaze on Briana's face.

Brianna squeezed Abigail's hand and released it. "With her mother gone, you are all she has."

"But our adventure?" Abigail's gaze wandered to the horses.

In all the years she'd known Abigail, first as her nurse, then as her friend, she never would have guessed that the woman yearned anything other than the lot this life had given her. Brianna smiled. "This is just one of many that lay ahead for us all. There will be many others."

A faint smile touched Abigail's lips. "You promise?"

"I promise. When this adventure is through, Simon and I will take you anywhere you wish."

Abigail's eyes misted and a single tear ran down her cheek. "I will hold you to that promise, and now I demand something of you."

"Anything."

"Do not fall beneath that evil man's sword."

"Not if I can help it."

A second tear joined the first on Abigail's cheek. "Promise me."

Brianna knew she could not guarantee her return. She'd seen too many battles, watched too many men fall to make that hollow promise. But she knew what Abigail needed to hear. "I promise to do everything in my power to return here and to spend the rest of our days living out one adventure after another."

Abigail drew Brianna into a quick embrace before stepping away. When she pulled back, her eyes were filled with both sadness and hope. "Then I await your return."
