Gavin slid his hand over to the now empty space at his side. He wasn’t worried, though. She obviously only needed a moment of privacy. But when the minutes continued to tick by and she still did not come back to his bed, an all too familiar heaviness settled around his heart, reinforcing the wall that had started to crumble.

‡

When I awoke the following morning, the storm had vanished and as I looked over at the now empty bed, it would seem, so had my Highlander. My face heated as I remembered a bit too clearly what happened in that very same bed only a few short hours ago. Standing up, I hurriedly crossed the room to get ready for the day.

Once again, there was clean water in the basin and I splashed it on my face before washing up as best as I could. When I finished, I walked over in front of the fire, lifted the fur off the floor, and folded it into a nice square before placing it on the trunk. I made his bed as well. Fluffing the pillows more than needed, I tried to prolong the inevitable but my stomach grumbled loudly, reminding me I had yet to eat anything substantial since yesterday and that was almost too little food to even count. So even though I was being a chicken and didn’t want to leave his room to face him in the light of day, my grumbling belly had other ideas.

So with one last look around, I left the room and made my way down the dark gloomy corridor, to the top of the stairs.

Much like the first night I was here, I stared down into the hall and was surprised to see it appeared empty save for the monstrous dog that was taking up residence in front of the damn door, sleeping.

Again my belly grumbled, spurring me to make a decision. So throwing caution to the wind, I very carefully and as quietly as I could, made my way down the stairs. The dog thankfully didn’t move from its resting place. With my heart pounding too loudly, I gathered my skirts in my hand, as I prepared to make a break for the kitchen.

Taking off, I rounded the corner, and came to a skidding a halt. In the corner, where I could not see before, was a chair, and in that chair was my Highlander, and he was staring right at me and he didn’t look happy. My breath caught in my throat as I waffled in place, not sure if I should run back to his room or face him and in doing so get this ridiculous humiliation business out of the way once and for all. So garnering my slipping resolve, I stayed where I was.

“Good morning,” I called as cheerily as I could under the circumstances, albeit quieter than I normally would have due to the sleeping massive dog across the room.

He didn’t move. Not a muscle and for a moment I didn’t think he was going to say anything to me at all.
