It was close to midnight when Tyra's troop returned to Stoneheim.

Adam had been standing near the gate for more than three hours. He wasn't sure if he was more worried or angry.

There were wounded, he noticed, slung over saddles or lying in quickly constructed pole litters which trailed behind the horses. None of the men appeared to be Stoneheim warriors, as far as he could tell. More work for him, though, he presumed.

But where was Tyra? His heart beat frantically with panic. Was she left behind, too wounded to be moved? Or dead?

Please, God, not again!

Just then the line of troops parted and Tyra rode forward through the ranks. Tears of relief misted his eyes.

I should not care so much, he told himself. Then, Thank you, God.

When she started to dismount, her knees gave way— no doubt from the exhaustion of the long day—but he was there to catch her in his arms.

"Are you all right?" he whispered against her ear, still holding her upright in his arms. "Have you been hurt?"

She shook her head slowly from side to side, dazed.

"You will never do this to me again, that I swear."

"Do what?" She cocked her head with confusion.

"Leave me behind to worry, like a… like a…"

"Husband?" Tykir offered with a laugh as he rode his horse up next to them.

Adam knew he was acting foolishly, but his emotions were roiling out of control. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he told Tyra, "We will discuss this later," and went off to join Father Efrid, who was already examining the wounded.

Almost immediately, he turned around, came back, and kissed her soundly on the lips. Then he was off again.

"Has he lost his mind?" he heard Tyra ask Tykir.

"Undoubtedly," Tykir said. "Either that, or his heart."
