A House

The group set a relentless pace with only a few rest stops. Mainly for the benefit of their horses. When they rested Orla sat close to Brodie, he was forever shadowing her wherever she went.

That night the contingent camped by Loch Earn just outside of St Fillans. It was while they were sharing a meal of fresh salmon and oatcakes Orla had prepared, that Brodie broached the subject of living arrangements.

“What do you mean, where will we live? In my cottage, where else?” Orla said.

“I was thinking maybe we should live in my home, now that I have someone to share it with.”

“Your family home?” Orla asked. Thinking about the run-down cottage where Brodie’s father used to live. She was already calculating in her head the number of repairs it needed and what materials she could purchase to make it livable.

“No, I meant our home, on my estate.”

“You have an estate?” she said, shocked.

“Aye, I have an estate and a large manor. Tis run by a small staff, they maintain it while I have been at the Keep.”

“But how?”

“Through my ma’s athair. She came from landed gentry it passed to me as the only surviving male heir.”

“And you did not want to live there before?” Orla asked.

“I did not want to live there alone. But now I have a wife and... possibly bairns, I think we should move there.”

Orla was wondering if she knew Brodie at all. He had a manor house and an estate with staff?

“Where-ever you are, is my home, Brodie Fletcher,” she said.

“Good answer, Orla Fletcher.” Brodie smiled and kissed her.
