“Cakes and wine sound good,” Martin agreed, and then sat up sharply. “Circle? What circle?”

“Whoa, cowboy – take it easy!” Frank had a hand on his shoulder and eased him back against a pillow. “You just had an almighty crack on the head when that damn grey dumped you. Donny’s frantic that you’re concussed and will sue. He’s called for the medics. How many fingers am I holding up?”

“Four, you idiot,” Martin said crossly, pushing Frank’s hand away from his face.

He sat up slowly. His whole body ached and he felt totally exhausted. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed, and sat up. Where there had been wolf fur and a girl almost in his arms, there was now cotton sheets and thermal blankets. He groaned, closed his eyes and lay down again. The green sward had definitely not welcomed him.

Wolf fur? Green sward? He really must be losing it. He slid his hand under the pillow the better to cradle his aching head, when his fingers closed on a soft shape. Catching his breath, he knew in an instant that he was holding two, small sweet smelling dolls bound face to face with red ribbon.

His hand closed tightly around them as the harsh sound of an ambulance siren drew closer. He heard the vehicle pull up beside his trailer, heard Frank say, “He’s in here.”

Then there was a cool, soft hand on his forehead and he slowly opened his eyes.

“Looks like you’ve been in the wars,” she said.

Her voice was husky, sweet and rich as mead and thick as smoke spiraling upwards from a wood-stoked fire. He looked up into the paramedic’s deep, violet blue eyes and Martin Mitchell just knew she was the seventh child of a seventh child.

“What took you so long?” he asked with a smile.
