~Chapter Thirty-Three~

Jenna sat quietly in her saddle as she rode along side of her grandfather, Caleb. They had returned to MacCollum Keep on the previous day and her Uncle Ruiri had pressing matters to attend to with one of the neighboring rival clans. They had forged a tenuous peace and Ruiri was needed to quell a simmering feud that they did not want to have escalate. Caleb thought about Ruiri and how far he had come from the angry young man he once was. His youngest son still had spirit; there was no doubt about that, but he had a cooler head ever since he had married Brielle. She had been so good for his son, who had been damaged by tragedy at a young age. Even though his other sons were capable of tending to clan matters, Caleb knew that Ruiri was the best man for the job. He was a natural born leader. Men followed him almost blindly and he had been responsible for treaties with rival clans that even he, as laird of the clan had not been able to do. All his sons were strong warriors, but his eldest son Jamie seemed to have settled into the role of sheep herder and cultivator of fine wools, which had greatly increased the prosperity of MacCollum. Liam and Shawn were deeply loyal to their clan but had seen less and less fighting over the years and they had grown content with family and farming. Caleb pondered these matters, more regularly, it seemed. The passing of time appeared to happen quicker these days and Caleb knew that the day would come when he would need to pass his legacy onto one of his sons. Today would not be that day as he escorted his beautiful granddaughter back to her home.

Caleb looked over at his precious Jenna and noted how grown up she had become. When had that happened? Only yesterday it seemed she was chasing after him in a child’s game. Here she was, though, a woman, fully grown, and a beautiful one at that. She had an impetuous nature, but she also had a good heart and strong conscience. Caleb noted her quiet demeanor and he reckoned she had admonished herself for her rash decision to go the MacDougal Fete more than anything her parents would do to her upon her return. Something had happened at there that seemed to have changed his sweet girl. She appeared to be more demure and settled. There was only one thing that could do that, and that was a beau. Jenna was in love, but who was the object of her affection? She was very quiet and no one seemed to know if Jenna had met someone during the Samhain Feast. Ruiri had never let her out of his sight and if he knew, he mentioned no name of anyone. Caleb cleared his throat and he said, “Are ye’ going to tell me his name, lass?”

Jenna’s eyes flew to her grandfather’s and blush crept into her cheeks.
