Laurin had to admit that her outlook on her future had changed somewhat after spending the day with Albert and his brothers. She also felt a special bond growing with Elise and Elsbeth.

Returning to the keep late in the afternoon, she felt much more relaxed and at ease. Gone was the incessant fear and worry of being hurt again. Replacing it was the realization that not all people, especially men, were cruel, heartless bastards.

They drew to a stop in the courtyard near the stables. Albert dismounted first, before helping her down. With utmost care, he set her on her feet. It stunned her to realize she did not feel repulsed by the fact that his big hands were on her hips.

“Thank ye for ridin’ with me this day,” he said warmly.

“Thank ye for suggestin’ it,” she said. “And thank ye fer showin’ me how to use a dirk.”

Ronald and Elbeth came to stand beside them. “Ye had a good time then, lass?” he asked.

“Aye, I did. Thank ye, thank ye all.”

“Mayhap on the morrow ye’ll want to do some fishin’?” Ronald suggested. “We can take one of the boats out—”

Laurin stopped him with a raised hand. “Nay!” she said playfully. “I told Albert, I’ll never set foot on the ocean again. Our trip here was enough to last me a lifetime.”

They laughed together for a moment. “Ye be a land dweller,” Ronald laughed.

“I do no’ mind lookin’ at the ocean, but bein’ on it ’twas a most terrifyin’ experience. And one I should never like to repeat.”

Elise stepped forward and took Laurin by the arm. “Come, let us go inside and let these men put the horses away.”

They bid the men good day before heading into the keep. “I think Albert is sweet on ye,” Elise said as they took the steps.

Laurin felt her cheeks flame red as that old familiar voice reared its ugly head. It matters no’, she told herself. Fer nothin’ could ever come of it.
