The only thing she wanted to do, crazy as it sounded, was to run to Kaden and put her head on his chest and breathe easy for a little while. To let him wrap his arms around her and give her comfort while she worried over whether the treatment would help the horse or not.

The hours it would take for the swelling to go down would be tough to bear, and she knew it. But he was there with her, and that would make it a little easier. She just knew it would.

“You’re taking a chance, being here,” she whispered when he approached.

“No more of a chance than any other man who chooses to remain nearby,” he murmured.

Only they knew that Kirk had forbidden him against spending too much time around her. She had thrown him off enough with her performance that he had forgotten to order Kaden back to the house with him.

She nodded, accepting this, knowing there was more he wanted to say but didn’t feel free to say. Funny how they had gotten to know each other so well when she was locked in the stall. She might’ve been a prisoner, but they at least felt free to say whatever was on their minds.

“Do you believe it will work?” he asked.

“It had better, or else I’m a dead woman.” She glanced over to where a pair of men stood, muttering about her. She fascinated them and scared them and repulsed them all at once, it was obvious.

She wondered what would happen if she screamed Boo! and jumped at them. How long would it take them to wet themselves? How fast would they run away?

Kaden understood, and went to them so she could have a minute to herself. They talked about training, about getting ready for a battle. The sorts of things she guessed men must’ve talked about in those days. After all, there was no TV, no internet. Nothing to do but talk about the weather and fighting and that was about it.

Oh, yeah, and about the so-called witch they had found.

She went back to the horse, soaking the rag in more of the meadowsweet water before wrapping it around the leg again. It would take a little time for the swelling to start to go down, but she was confident it would work well enough to at least make it look like she knew what she was doing.

None of the men had seen her sneak the plants into the stall. They didn’t know what a bra was, and that women had used bras to hide things from them for a century. And they would never know. That was the weirdest thing of all.

When she was born, they had all been dead for hundreds of years. She couldn’t think about it for too long, or else she might never be able to stop thinking about it.

It was morbid, almost. Knowing she was talking to a bunch of dead men.

Including Kaden, and that was the hardest part of all.
