For Damien it was also enlightening, though the tenants were obviously taken aback by Kate’s attire. She lifted children on her hip and carried them along to look at goats, poultry and pigs. Then, she looked over one of the draft horses and pointed out an abscess, which she promptly advised how to treat. Her hair was half-loose from the braid and her boots marred with mud.

They were inspecting a bridge on the way home. He and Kate disagreed on the means to prevent erosion. The argument lasted a good while and even when he saw her point, Damien kept rebutting just to watch her stomp over and point out the crumbling rocks, looking like she wanted to throw one at his head. He glanced at Tom, who rolled his eyes, before he conceded that Kate had the better idea.

The fire crackled, flames casting shadows on the wall and making water glisten on their skin. Damien handed her a comb. Kate stood before the fire, using it on her wet hair, hearing him move to the vanity and feeling the complete intimacy of the room.

shoulders, before she eyed the ridge of hair from his navel.
