Chapter Eleven

“OH, MY GOD what are you doing here, sweetie?” Milly cried before she flew into Jim’s arms. “You shouldn’t be...this makes no sense.” She held him at arm’s length and looked him over. “Are you okay?” She shook her head. “How are you even here?”

“Beats the shit out of me.” Jim shook his head as well, obviously confused. “One sec I was with Linds, the next here.” He frowned as he looked around, rubbed his throat and eyed Adlin with uncertainty. “I saw the light through the forest, you two, then the next thing I knew I had a damn knife to my throat.”

Adlin made a disgruntled sound that might have been an apology before he sheathed his blade and Milly made introductions. Though Adlin might know who Jim was, her friend certainly had no clue who the Scotsman was.

“So where am I exactly?” Jim looked around again. “Because this definitely isn’t anywhere near your house, Milly.”

Leave it to Jim to take all this in stride as she sat him down and warily told him the whole story. He never said a word but listened until she was finished.

“Well, I’ll be damned. Really?” In typical Jim fashion, he crossed his arms over his chest and glanced from her to Adlin. “Time travel? Medieval Scotland?”

“He’s taking this verra well,” Adlin commented, handing the skin of whisky to him.

“Thanks...I think.” Jim continued eying Adlin, clearly not sure what to make of him.

“Go on and drink it, lad,” Adlin urged. “’Twill not harm you.”

“No.” Jim gestured at Adlin’s blade. “But that might again.”

“Och, nay.” Adlin shook his head. “My apologies. I thought you meant Milly harm.”

“Right...Milly...my ex...who you think is your one true love,” Jim muttered as he took a deep swig, his eyes never leaving Adlin.

“I dinnae think but know.”

Adlin sat beside Milly which put her between them.

She gave Jim a lot of credit for not choking on the whisky because of its taste. Instead, he wiped his mouth and gave a nod of approval. “Damn good.”

“Aye.” Adlin grinned and nudged Milly, apparently finding humor in the whole situation. “It seems he has good taste when it comes to both lasses and whisky.”

“Yup.” Jim winked at Milly. “Always have.”

She sighed, shook her head and grabbed the whisky. “Glad to see everyone’s getting along.”

“Why wouldnae we?” Adlin kept grinning. “Is he not the lad I picked for you in our last life?”

“What’s that?” Jim asked.

So Adlin explained.

“Isn’t that something.” Jim chuckled, clearly eased by the liquor. “Looks like he’ll be able to keep you this time around though, which sounds like the happy ending you both deserve.”

Confused, Milly looked from Adlin to Jim. “What do you mean?”

He gestured at her ring. “That’s what caught my attention when I arrived it was so bright.”

“I know it can be,” she said, curious what color he saw. “So you saw the brown glow?”

“What?” Jim shook his head. “No.” He gestured from the gem to Adlin’s eyes. “It’s the same color as his eyes.”

“What?” Adlin and Milly said at the same time.
