The Future is Determined by the Past

Daividh watched Fiona run off with a frown on his face. There was no way the girl could expect him to just sit back while she married the old man. Not after seeing the abject fear in her eyes and the manner in which the laird had spoken to her. He had followed when Fiona stomped out of the great hall and then concealed himself in the shadows when he saw her bump into the laird.

He could not clearly hear their conversation but her body language said enough, as did the sharp cutting edge of the laird’s voice, the contempt in his face. Whatever reason the laird had for wanting her for his wife, he clearly held no tender feelings for her.

That knowledge, strangely, was what freed Daividh from his reticence. If the man did not even care for her, why should he worry about encroaching on the laird’s territory? The girl had asked for his help and he would give it to her. If it resulted in a broken engagement, then so much the better. He was willing to admit that his feelings for the lady were a little more than platonic.

He turned back to the dining hall only to find his friend Simon leaning on the wall, waiting for him. He shook his head slowly. “Daividh, my friend, ye’re playing wi’ fire.”

Daividh wondered if he should feign ignorance. But Simon was more than his friend, he was a brother. Daividh sighed. “I dinnae care. She’s worth it.”

“Just please, tell me ye have a plan.”

“I have a plan.”

Simon rolled his eyes. “Why do I even bother?”

“Because my mither told ye tae look oot frae me afore I left hame?”

Simon pretended sudden enlightenment. “Och aye, I forgot, that’s why!”

Daividh huffed a laugh. “Dinnae fash, I dinnae aim tae do anythin’ too dangerous.”

Simon sighed in resignation. “What d’ye need me tae do?”

Daividh grinned in gratitude. “Cover for me. I have tae go tae Glendale and find oot who this laird is.”

Simon sighed louder. “And then what will ye do eh? There isnae a thing ye can do tae change anything.”

“We dinnae ken tha’.” Suddenly he sobered, looking his friend in the eye. “I have tae try, Simon.”

Simon considered him for a long while. “Och, ye ken I will do all I can tae help ye.”

Daividh nodded, clapping him companionably on the shoulder. “Thank ‘e mo charaid.”
