Chapter Ten

Lena was sitting up in the bed, while Marren laid across her lap. She ran her fingers through his light brown hair and trailed her fingertips down his back. It had been two days since the burning of the ship, and Lena had finally found the courage to tell Marren what had happened. He still had not said anything. Lena still felt silly for telling him first thing in the morning, but the day before had been almost worse than her arranged marriage. She was avoiding eye-contact with all Walsh men, and she did not even allow Marren to touch her. His kisses felt cold, and his hands on her had made her sick. This was not something she could let continue, and after she had finished telling him about what Lester had done he simply pulled himself on top of her legs and held her tight. He had not said a word. Lena trailed her fingers once more from the top of his head down his back. As she lightly brushed his skin she could see the goosebumps arriving on his arms. She wanted to know what he was going to do, what he thought, what he was going to say.

“Are you going to talk to him?” Lena asked almost in fear of what he might do to Lester.

“I have no choice. He could have hurt you.” Marren muttered out in almost a whisper.

“He.. He was not himself. He had too much ale.” Lena tried to think of something to say, the last thing she wanted to do was cause more tension between the clan.

“It is no excuse. He put his hands on my wife. A true Walsh would never.” Marren said and lifted himself from her legs into a sitting position.

As much as his words comforted her, she just wanted things to return to normal. She would pretend like they never happened, and she hoped maybe he would too. Marren turned to her, this was the first time she had seen his face all morning. His eyes looked hurt, phsycically hurt. His eyesbrows were scrunched and his lips hard against each other.

“I am so sorry Lena. I will talk with my clansmen to see what we will do about him. I do not understand, he has lost his wife. He should have never. Maybe you could spend the day with Mulla? Jorge is getting fat. You’ll see.” Marren said with a smile.

It worked on Lena as she nodded back. Just as he lifted himself up there was a knock at the door that banged and echoed throughout their wooden house.
