CHAPTER TWELVE

Linzi

The ceremony had been simple. Only the preacher, her and Luke at the front of the tiny white walled church. An older man who could barely walk was brought in off the street to be the witness they needed should the vows be questioned. Linzi glanced back at him as the preacher began speaking of God’s goodness and grace. She didn't know this God, but if he needed to be part of the moment for Luke to help secure her future - so be it.

Her mother had faith in God and spoke of him quite often. Linzi had tried as a young girl to seek him out and find him for herself, but when the illness took her mother, there was no longer a point. She didn't need to know anything other than how to survive that day.

"Girl. Do you have a ring?" The pastor spoke loudly, his voice far too high-pitched for a man.

"No, Sir."

"It's all right. Let's just do the vows and I'll give her my ring. I'd like to get her home before the darkness sets, so move along."

Linzi glanced at Luke as she slid her hands into his. Never had she heard him impatient. Angry, yes, but impatient, no. He was worried, and it was apparent by the shifting of his eyes to the door. The Vikings had left everyone on edge. The fact that they milled about, raising their voices and arms against anyone who defied them was reason enough to be consumed with fear. That, or he wanted her alone in the bedroom. How long before she could use the babe in her womb as an excuse for safety? She felt terrible for having those thoughts.

"Of course."

The preacher rushed through the already simple service, not that Linzi minded much. Her mind slipped to her fantasies as she repeated phrases and nodded where appropriate. Erik was married to a blond tart, but her heart still belonged to him.

She imagined his wedding would have been something to behold. A large castle and people running about in excitement. What would it have been like, had she been his bride?
