Freya asked an innocent question to Agetha, “What do you think Ozian means by visiting with Vinia so much?”

“No doubt, he’s after something. She is the only one with a patil in the village. Maybe he’s trying to find a way to get back home since he’s discovered there’s nothing here for him.”

“I don’t think so,” Freya mused quietly to herself. To her mind, it looked like Ozian had found more than enough to keep him around. She had to admit to herself that she was slightly jealous but then chided herself. Vinia had a small child who needed looking after, Ozian would be a good father for her and a helpmate for Vinia.

“What was that?” Agetha asked unkindly.

“Nothing. I was just talking to myself. Do you have enough firewood, or should we go gather more?”

“I’m fine. You should run along home now; it’s getting late.”

Not really appreciating being told what to do, Freya held her tongue as she turned and began walking toward her home and away from the mean and spiteful Agetha. If Agetha were not her nearest neighbor, she probably would not have become friends with her. Freya shrugged and told herself it was best to get along with everyone since the community was so small. They all needed one another to get through the hard times.

Freya turned and saw Agetha had gone into her own house, so she kept walking until she found herself nearing Vinia’s cabin. She really did not have any intention of overhearing Vinia’s conversation, but once she was within range, she found she could not turn away either. Freya covered her mouth to keep from making any noise as she listened intently.

“I really am serious about marrying you, Vinia. Please say you’ll accept,” Ozian pled one more time.

“What would you do if I said yes?” Vinia asked offhandedly, not really believing Ozian would take it as an acceptance.

“Did you just say yes? Oh, I’m the happiest man alive!” He jumped up from the bench and picked up Vinia and turned her in jubilant circles. “We can have the ceremony tonight, or tomorrow, or as soon as it can be arranged. I want you to have everything you’ve ever wanted. Tell me what you want to do?”

Seeing she had made a serious error in her choice of words, Vinia did not have the heart to deny his words. She realized she would like to be with him; she only wished it would have come later when she had more time to mourn the loss of her previous relationship. Ozian did not have to pay for her past, and she owed her daughter a future with a father in it.

“I will make the arrangements,” Vinia spoke with a silly grin on her face.

For the first time, Ozian leaned down and kissed her firmly on the lips. He forgot about everything else, as he lost himself in the feel of her body under his hands. He began pulling on her shirt, and his kisses trailed across her cheek and down her throat.
