The Accident

When Craig went back to his own castle that afternoon he could think about nothing but Malle. He had been with dozens of women; he had a reputation for his exploits, but he had never found one he could fall in love with before. However, she was different.

She had an intelligence that was missing in many other people he had encountered, and not just women. She was fierce; she could stand up for herself against any man, as she had done with him, and yet he knew that she could be tender and womanly.

He knew it from the kiss, the way her pliant body had yielded to his, and he was beginning to know it from the way she talked to him and looked at him. She was tough and tender at the same time, while still being very feminine. In short, she was everything he wanted, and he realized that for the first time ever he cared about a woman, not for how she could make him feel in a carnal way, but for how she made him feel deep inside his heart and his mind.

He fell asleep thinking about her and he woke up thinking about her, and she stayed at the back of his mind all day.

When he got up, it was another cloudy day that threatened a downpour, and he felt his mood dip with the weather. He knew he was not going to see Malle that day unless he ventured onto MacEwan land, and although relations between the two families had thawed slightly, the guards would still arrest or chase away any Dunbar trespassers. Malle was not likely to venture onto Dunbar land to visit Isobell’s grave for the same reason.

He tried to think of somewhere else he could find her and could think of none, but he was so depressed at the thought of not seeing her that he thought he would write a letter asking her to meet him. Then he could pour out his heart to her, tell her how much he cared for her, and hope that she felt the same.

Having decided on a course of action, he felt better. He decided to pay a quick visit to the church to light a candle and say a prayer for both of them. Perhaps he should have asked God’s advice in the first place, he thought ruefully.
