Chapter 11

Time travel really needed to come equipped with a proper etiquette manual, one designed especially for moments like the one confronting Annie right now.

Alexander strode down the long hallway ahead of her, accompanied by his two friends. It was the perfect time to speak to him, before he reached the great hall and began his day. If only she could get his attention. She could hardly yell out his name or a random Hey you! And while she might not know for sure the proper form of address for the laird of a clan, she was pretty sure that neither of those were the appropriate way to address him.

Maybe she could call to him like she would to any stranger walking ahead of her whose attention she needed to attract. Treat him like someone who had just dropped his wallet on the sidewalk. It wasn’t a perfect plan, but it was as good as anything else she could come up with.

“Excuse me? Sir?” she called, hurrying forward as her plan seemed to work.

Alex stopped mid-stride and turned to face her.

“Sir?” He shook his head and actually smiled. “Yer mistaken, my good lady. There are no sirs here. None of us have yet earned ourselves a knighthood.”

“Yet,” Jamesy repeated, his ever-present grin lifting the corners of his mouth.

Alex cast a glare in Jamesy’s direction. “Suppose you and Finn go on ahead. I’ll meet you in the great hall when I’ve finished here.”

Jamesy dipped his head in acknowledgment, though the smile did not fade from his lips. “As you command, my laird. We’ll await you there.”

“What is it you’d have of me this day, my lady?”

“I’ve a request,” Annie began, trying hard not to let Alex’s smile throw her off her stride.

The laird didn’t smile all that often, but when he did, it had some serious impact. And if his smile wasn’t enough to rattle her, there was always the fact that he stood so close that only a small movement on her part would have her actually touching him.

A vision of him shirtless, water dripping down his chest, wandered through her memory, and her mouth dried, forcing her to lick her lips.

“Do continue,” Alex said, his smile appearing only a fraction strained.

“It’s the fresh air,” she began again, almost forgetting why she was speaking to the man. “Your father needs fresh air. And sunshine. He needs to spend some time outside to aid in his recovery. I was thinking, if we could only take him to the arbor—”

“No,” Alex interrupted, holding up one hand as if to emphasize his denial of her request.

This wasn’t at all how Annie had imagined this conversation going.

“But you told me you’d see to it that I have everything I need to care for your father. I need to take him to the arbor for sunshine and fresh air. How can you refuse me…him?”

The last traces of Alex’s beautiful smile disappeared as the muscle in his jaw tightened. Annie didn’t take this new expression as a positive sign.
