"Well, then, I'll bid you all good night," he said, standing up. "I'm staying a t Armistead's if you need me. Don't hesitate to call."

"Thank you." Morgan spoke automatically. He leaned over and pecked Moira o n the cheek. "I'm glad I met you," he said. Then he and Morgan kissed each other's cheeks, and he let himself out.

"Mum, you look like you've seen a ghost," Moira said. "Are you going to tel l me what is going on?"

Morgan was reluctant to speak in front of Katrina. Katrina knew all about H

unter, of course. But this was a moment that needed to happen between just mother and daughter, in private. She glanced at her mother-in-law.

As if divining her thoughts, Katrina stood. "I'd best be off," she said. "Didn't mean to stay so late."

"Let me give you a ride home-it's late," Morgan said, walking Katrina to the door.

"No, lass." Katrina shook her head. "The walk is good for me. You are neede d here."

At the door Katrina paused, looking into Morgan's face. "It was Hunter we s aw, wasn't it?" she said, glancing back to see if Moira could hear their co nversation. "What do you make of it?"

"Yes, it was. I don't know what to make of anything any¬more," Morgan said, feeling lost in a way that she hadn't felt since Colm had died.

"Call me if you want to talk," Katrina said, and Morgan nodded. They hugge d quickly and Katrina began to walk down the path, her stiff leg making he r gait awkward.

"Be safe, be quick, be home in a tick," Morgan murmured automatically. Whe n she turned around, Moira was still sit¬ting at the table, her head in he r hands-someone waiting for bad news. She raised her head and glared at Mo rgan.

"Tell me what's going on," Moira said through clenched teeth. Morgan sighe d. Goddess give her strength. "This ring . . . was given to me by someone I knew before your dad."

Moira sat up straighten interested. "Someone? Who? Mum, just tell me."

Morgan sat at the table beside Moira. "How far have you gotten in my old Books of Shadows?" she asked.

Moira shrugged. "I've been jumping around," she said.

Morgan nodded. "Well, then, maybe you haven't read much about him yet, or at least about what he ended up meaning to me. Moira, there was someone special to me before your father." She looked into Moira's eyes, unsure o f how to go on. "He ... he was my muirn beatha dan."

Moira flinched, pain flashing across her face. "Da wasn't?"

Morgan shook her head regretfully. "Your dad and I loved each other very m uch, but we weren't each other's muirn beatha dans. His name was Hunter. H

unter Niall. He was the Seeker who was sent after Cal and Selene." She sta red at the worn tabletop, lost in the pain of remembering. "How I felt abo ut him was unlike anything I had known. It was how love should be. We were made to be together, two halves of a whole.
