Ella’s eyes closed and her head fell back slightly as William slowly pulled his lips from hers. She felt all warm and tingly when he kissed her. She felt wanted and loved.

“Did you remember anything, Ella? Did the kiss trigger off a memory of our past together?”

She saw the hope in William’s eyes and didn’t want to disappoint him. Then again, neither did she want to lie to him. “Nay, I am sorry,” she said. “I enjoyed the kiss, but it did not make me remember our past together.”

“Damn,” he swore under his breath. “Ella, I’m taking you back to Castle Fremont with me.”

“Nay, you can’t.”

“Why not?”

“It would be considered an act of war if you stole me from my home.”

“This isn’t your home,” he said, causing her eyes to snap upward.

“Where is my home, William? If you know, please tell me.”

“I am sorry, but I can’t tell you.”

“Then I will remember it on my own. Now, please put me down.”

“I am taking you to the tower. I will not let you spend the night in the barn.”

“Nay. You need to leave now. Please do not get involved. This is something I have to do on my own.”

“Do? What do you mean?”

“I can’t depend on someone to save me from my miserable life.”

“You can depend on me, Ella.”

“I know.” She reached up and caressed the side of his face. “That’s not what I mean. What I mean is that I have been thinking about what Medea told me. She said I was a mouse and she was right.”

“Oh.” He looked down to the ground at all the mice.

“I need to stand up for myself and what I believe. The only trouble is, without my memories, I don’t know what to believe.”

“Then forget about memories,” he told her. “Let’s make new ones instead.”

“Mayhap we will. But for now, I am spending the night in the barn. I don’t want any more trouble.”

A mouse ran across the top of the stall, making her lurch and hold him tighter.

“Then I will stay the night in the barn, too.” He put her down in the hay and removed his cloak.

“William, what are you doing?”

“Shhh,” he said, blowing out the flame of the lantern and laying next to her. He used his cloak to cover them. His arms wrapped around her, pulling her securely to his body. She curled up to his chest, feeling safe and calm. The warmth of their bodies melded together. It felt good and right. “Go to sleep,” he whispered. “You have nothing to worry about as long as I am here with you.”

When she looked up at him, he kissed her again, making her come to life. Something about being with William felt familiar. It was natural and as if they had kissed and cuddled before. She wracked her brain trying to remember the past. Just one little snippet or memory is all she wanted. Something to prove to her that they had a relationship in the past. But nothing came to mind.
