Chapter Fifteen

My heart yearns for so much. Yet all is impossible.

~ Noelle

Daniel eased up from the bedroll he’d been lying on for days now. He’d slept more than he could ever remember sleeping, but it was time to make himself useful. Noelle had carried more than her share of the work, which bothered him further with each passing hour.

Once standing, he gripped the tree beside him until the world stopped spinning. His head wasn’t pulsing quite as much as it had been, but the ache was still there. Drawing away from the tree, he took a step forward—and managed to do it without teetering. If he walked on the toes of his injured foot, the burn didn’t feel as if it seared all the way up his leg.

He stepped toward the fire and bent slowly to throw a couple more logs on the flames. If it weren’t so cold, he’d take a dip in the creek to clean himself up. His body smelled as if he’d been on his deathbed for days. He could at least settle for a splash-bath.

As he passed the spot where Noelle had sat all morning writing, his clumsy foot bumped her books, sending both leather-bound tomes sliding.

A frustrated grunt slipped out as he clutched his throbbing head and bent to replace the books. A paper had slid out of one of them, and he picked it up. A letter.

He shouldn’t read her correspondence, yet his yearning to know more about this woman seemed to take control of him.
