Elspeth went back to the seamstress, who was happy to see her again. Elspeth had decided not to take any guards with her as she didn’t want to live in fear of her own clan or for them to have any insight into her and Finlay’s private life. She took the seamstress aside and spoke in a low voice, talking about the kind of dress that she wanted. It was a provocative one, and the seamstress seemed taken aback. Her daughter laughed and took over. She was just as skilled as her mother but more open to new ideas. Elspeth’s mind ran wild. She knew exactly what she wanted, and the seamstress’s daughter actually said that she had a few dresses she had made, ones that her mother didn’t display because she thought them too wild.

The daughter seemed glad to show off her wares, and Elspeth got the impression that she didn’t get to do this too often. The dresses were exquisite, and Elspeth was quite tempted to get them all. There was one in particular that caught her eye. It was a backless dress, which would allow her hair to cascade along her back, something she knew Finlay liked. The top was cut low in the chest as well, coming down in a deep V shape, and she was certain that it would grab Finlay’s attention.

Elspeth thanked the seamstress and told her to send the bill to the castle. The seamstress took Elspeth’s measurements and said that the adjustments would not take too long, and she would send the dress to the castle as soon as it was ready. Elspeth’s eyes lit up with excitement as she thought about the future and all the other dresses she might wear. She wondered if Finlay yet knew of all the delights a marriage could offer. For some reason, she had assumed that he knew more about married life than she did, but while she had spent most of her life taking care of a home, Finlay had allowed his to fall into disrepair. He was a strong protector, but there was still much about building a home and a life that he didn’t know. It was time for her to take more of a stand and take the lead in their marriage. She had looked to him to take control, but in this respect, it might well have been up to her to guide him. She left the seamstress with a coy smile on her face, enjoying that she had a new plan to prove to her husband that she knew how to be a wife.

She was so lost in thought on her way back to the castle that she didn’t notice people creeping up on her. She only heard the footsteps when it was too late, and then there was a heavy arm coming around her. She opened her mouth to scream, but a coarse hand clamped around her mouth, suffocating her. Her eyes widened as she looked up at the clear blue sky before it all went dark.
