“I am.” Cathal squeezed Tomas"s hand. “More than I have in a very long

time.”

The kitchen door opened. “There you are!” Heidi gestured toward the

table inside. On it was a pot of coffee and several large plates of savories and

scones. This was not going to be a short visit; it had all the signs of an

interrogation, the food being a mere disguise for that fact. Donovan leaned

back on his chair, the smirk still firmly in place. Tomas wondered just how

much Heidi had already been told.

Heidi"s gaze dropped to their joined hands, and she gave Tomas a

disapproving look. “An introduction before now would have been nice,
