Kaithria and Gillis found them in the morning, laying on the far side of the bed on the floor—or rather, on a rug on the floor—wrapped in the velvet bed hangings.

And each other.

Kaithria stared down at her brother. She raised one brow over her golden eyes as she looked at them.

Gillis came to stand beside her. “I told you so,” she whispered.

Kaithria just smiled.

Gillis leaned in and whispered, “Should we wake them?” as she stared at Cat’s golden-haired head and the fair skin of her face nestled under Caden’s permanent sun-kissed chin. His midnight-black, straight hair was a remarkable contrast to Cat’s golden curls. “Imagine the children they will have,” murmured Gillis.

Kaithria turned and stared at Gillis meaningfully. “They arnae married, Gillis,” she said firmly under her breath.

Gillis shrugged. “Not yet,” she responded, and then she grinned as her brown eyes twinkled merrily. “But he did say he was her betrothed. We all heard him.”

“Och,” Kaithria groaned quietly, “if Aunt Hextilda or Aunt Agnes heard that and saw them now, these two would be married by the end of the day.”

“If we heard what?” came a whisper from behind them.

Both Kaithria and Gillis jumped and turned around.

There stood tiny Aunt Hextilda and looming over her head was the giant, intimidating Aunt Agnes. They were looking expectantly at Kaithria and Gillis.

“Oh!” Kaithria said with a whoosh of breath.

“Oh dear…” Gillis mumbled.

Aunt Hexy was smiling with glee while holding her hands tightly together. She had gotten a glimpse of what Kaithria and Gillis were trying so hard to block.

Aunt Hexy whispered mischievously, “I want to clap me hands but we shouldnae wake them. Not just yet anyway.” She winked at Kaithria and Gillis.

Aunt Agnes bristled. “We must wake them immediately!” she insisted in her high voice. “At the very least to tell them what we learned this morning. Then we will have them married at once!”
