“I will miss ye being by my side.”

They were alone in their house but Darragh seemed ill at ease.

Tisa smiled in the hopes of reassuring him. “Ye’re very kind, Darragh.”

“We also have clan duties to the west so we will travel with ye. See ye have a safe arrival.”

Darragh glanced toward the door, fidgeting.

“Is aught amiss?”

He came to stand in front of her, took the clothes out of her hands to lay aside on the chest, and held her hands in his. “I just want ye to ken how much ye mean to me.”

The sentiment surprised her. “‘Tis kind of ye to say.”

Darragh shook his head and glanced away before turning back to her. “My father seeks my counsel now.”

The idea of asking him about his mother crossed her mind but she quickly dismissed it. “Ye’re a married man. Does that not always happen?”

“Ye ken what I refer to, Tisa. I am not a lover of women and never have been. My most intimate desires are fulfilled by other men.”

Tisa placed a hand to his cheek. “I ken that, Darragh. Ye are still my husband.”

“Do ye not wish for more for yer life?”

A warning bell sounded in her head. There was a look in his eye. The sudden need to tread lightly overwhelmed and she paused before speaking. “I have all that I need.”

“Good. I would not give ye up lightly.”

“Dunna fash yerself.”

He let loose a breath she’d swear he’d been holding. “My thanks, sweet little Tisa.”

She cringed at the endearment. “Have ye ever spoken of me to others?”

Darragh averted his gaze. “I have no reason to.”

“They dunna wonder how it is with us?”

“There is nothing I would repeat to another about ye.”

“Even yer lovers?”

“Nae! They ken ye care for me. That is enough.”

Not nearly enough but she smiled.

“We will take ye to yer father and return by sowing time.”
