'Why do you ask?'

'Is he or not?' he snapped.

'He is not,' she retorted sharply. 'Though it is none of your concern.'

Kaelin struggled for calm. 'You are right. I am sorry. I don't know what's the matter with me. Must be the mountain air,' he added, lamely.

'I am betrothed to no-one. I only reached my majority last week.'

'And I yesterday,' he said.

'Yesterday? I thought you were older.'

'Yesterday I was older,' he told her. 'Today I feel like a child.' Taking her hand he made as if to raise it to his lips. Instead he dipped his head and kissed her mouth.

'I did not say you could do that,' she said, without anger.

'May I do it again?'

'You may not. This time I shall do it. Close your eyes.' He did so, and felt her arms encircle his neck. His head was drawn down and he felt her lips upon his. When she drew back he was almost dizzy.

'That was the single greatest moment of my life,' he said.

Then you have led a dull life, Kaelin Ring,' she told him, with a bright smile. 'Now let us go down and meet my father.' She took his hand, but he did not move.

'Must we go now? Can we not stay here awhile?'

'No, we must go. It is still a long walk and you have a great deal of apologizing to do before supper.'
