Chapter Sixteen

SHOWERED AND DRESSED, Lorraine tied her shoelaces and slipped her arms through her Lands’ End jacket, ready to take on the world. In coming to Ireland, she’d left her troubles behind to find strength and independence. What she ended up discovering was she that wasn’t meant to stay single after all. Whether it was God’s intervention or a small blessing, as Leif would call it, she’d found the man she’d fallen in love with from another lifetime.

Not many people could claim such a thing. She knew a few who alleged to have lived previous lives, but they had little to no recognition of their past or those they came in contact with. Up until now, she’d thought them a little eccentric and, on some occasions, psychiatrically disturbed. She almost wished she’d paid more attention to their inconceivable stories. Maybe she’d have a better understanding of how it all worked and how, if possible, to jog another’s past-life memory.

Though Leif didn’t seem to recognize her from his past, he professed to have felt a connection with her, and that thread of optimism had her beaming with hope. If she could only stir his subconscious enough to let the deeply suppressed memories of his past resurface, as his birthmark had done for her, then perhaps there was a chance he’d recall the medieval life they’d shared.

Perhaps their first kiss might have sparked a faint memory from that period. She recalled his words: “I’ve no idea how to describe what I felt when I kissed you. All I know is that I saw you, a different version of you. An ageless version of you. And as I gazed upon your face, I felt like I was out of my body—watching me kiss you.”

Then she recalled Dægan. He was such a beautiful man, with hair like the sun and eyes like the ocean. She remembered how strong, stubborn, and confident he was, and how he said he’d marry her with or without her father’s consent. Leif was not quite the domineering fellow he once was as Dægan.

She blamed the affluent civilized society for taming the wild warrior within him. Men no longer claimed other men’s daughters as their own, or married them to sustain peace, acquire power, and accrue wealth. They no longer drew swords to protect their families, defend their honor, or fight for freedom. Life was much easier now, and safer. The need for brave men, armed to the teeth, to save the damsel in distress had been all but whittled away to nothing.

Modern life had diluted the epitome of undaunted courage and chivalry. But no matter what sort of man contemporary society had nurtured Leif to be, she’d love him just the same.

As she pondered how to rekindle Leif’s memory, she glanced at her phone that had been charging on the table since she entered her quaint accommodations at the Man of Aran Cottage. She saw three bars, good enough for making a quick call to Patrick before she headed into town, and the display that she’d missed three calls from him.
