Maisie realized that it seemed she was spending a large amount of time inside Shaw Castle recovering. First, there was the food that upset her, and then there was the arrow to the shoulder. This wasn't exactly how she imagined spending her first few weeks as a married woman.

There were good things too, of course. Every day, she fell a little more in love with Logan. She was hoping that perhaps he was going to tell her that he felt the same way.

It was clear by his actions that he did. He was very kind to her, and he always made sure that she was well and had everything she needed. He went out of his way to spend time with her, and they spent long nights whispering together, or taking walks through the castle. Each night, she hoped he would confess his love for her, or at least dreams he wanted to include her in. He opened up more, but the magic words had not yet come.

Maisie started writing solely about Logan to her sisters. She did not mean to, but she could think of nothing more interesting to write about. To her, everything he did was brilliant, and she couldn’t wait to tell her sisters about it.

They wrote back that they were glad for her, even if they were a little perplexed to hear how happy she was. This was clearly not the marriage they envisioned.

While her relationship with Logan was improving, she wasn’t sure about her relationship with the best of the estate. Cailean barely spoke to her, though he was kind when he did speak. Her mother-in-law was the same way and yet also intimidating. Maisie had not yet forgiven her for the words of harshness at her wedding reception. The Bible preached forgiveness, and she knew that she should do that, but it seemed like she could not find it in her soul, no matter how much she prayed.

Maisie did not want to be called a mistake. She had a place in the world where God intended her to be, and this was it. She was positive, with each passing day, that she was destined to be Logan’s wife.

“You are thinking deep thoughts tonight,” Aileas said, when she walked into the room to get Maisie ready for bed one night.

Maisie had been sitting on the windowsill, staring out into the moonlight. When Aileas appeared, she smiled. The two were becoming fast friends, and it seemed Aileas knew exactly what to say or do to make Maisie feel better.

“Not quite,” Maisie replied, with a smile. "I am just thinking of the past few weeks and how they have turned out.”

“It certainly has been an exciting adventure for you. And I have to say, it is not the kind that any of us planned for you.”

“Of course, I understand that. But I am grateful for all of it.”

“Grateful?” Aileas said, with a raised eyebrow as she indicated that Maisie should stand. She had her nightgown laid out, and she helped Maisie out of her dress in a few swift movements.
