Chapter 11

But Ewan had the right of it. Before they’d even reached the house, they could hear Haggis’ booming voice yelling at full volume. Apparently, he was already back from searching the pasture.

And as they moved inside, Clarissa could clearly see Haggis standing, larger than life, in the entry of the castle. Fiona seemed to be doing her best to keep her shoulders straight but her face was crumpling under her father’s words. “You’re marryin’ now, young lady. I’ve had enough of your nonsense. It’s time for some other man to try his hand at taming ye, because I’m done.”

It became clear that Fiona had mentioned Ewan because as soon as he and Clarissa stepped through the door, Haggis pointed his finger at Ewan and said, “You!”

Ewan stood straighter. “Me,” he rumbled back. His gaze narrowing.

“I want to see both of ye in my study now.” Haggis turned on his heel and headed up the stairs, expecting Fiona and Ewan to follow.

Fiona raced over. “I only told ‘im that I’d decided not to marry ye. But he kept asking why in a louder and louder voice. I lost my temper and said that you were only pretendin’ because of what I’d said to Colin. That’s when the real yellin’ started. I’m so sorry, Ewan. I’ve been nothing but trouble to ye.”

Ewan waved his hand. “I’ve fought entire armies. I’m sure I can handle one angry father. But let’s get it over with, shall we?”

“Thank you, Ewan,” Fiona breathed. “You’re a gentleman and an honorable man and I’m glad to ken ye.”

With a nod, he turned to her. “Wait for me in the library.” Then he placed a quick kiss on her forehead. He started up the stairs.

Fiona turned to her and gave her hand a squeeze. “I ken ye’ve been hurt. But he’s a fine man, you’ll never find one finer. Don’t let Davenport ruin your chance at happiness.” Then Fiona dashed up the stairs behind Ewan.

Clarissa watched them go, her heart thudding in her chest. Aunt Judith, Agnes, Fiona—they all thought Ewan was the kind of man she should be with. Mayhap, they were correct. She needed more time, and time was suddenly running short. But how could she trust again so soon after being scorched by marriage?
