It was after midnight in the parsonage beside the church before Craig and Bronwyn had a chance to talk. They lay together drenched in sweat and love and lust that needed only a brief respite to reignite. Bronwyn had never been so happy.

“So,” Craig asked as he sipped from the ice water he’d presciently placed on the bedside table, “want to tell me about the dwarves who came to the wedding?”

She rose enough to look at him in the dim light. “What did you see?”

“A dozen people about three feet tall who looked like garden gnomes.”

“You didn’t say anything.”

“Neither did you. I figured if they weren’t supposed to be there, you would have.”

She almost wanted to cry at his simple acceptance. He knew about the history of the Tufa, and had seen just enough to convince him of its truth. But there was so much more he didn’t know. Yet each revelation showed just how thoroughly he was the man she’d fallen for.

“I love you,” she said with more sincerity than she’d thought it possible to feel. Then she explained who the Little People were, and what was now expected of her and her new husband.

“Hm,” he said calmly when she’d finished. “Sounds interesting.”

“It will be. It could also be dangerous. We’d be in their territory, playing by their rules.”

“They did okay when they came to ours.”

“Our rules are much less . . . arbitrary.”

“You’ll watch out for me, though, right?”

“You know it.”

“Then I’m sure it’ll be fine.” And then his hand strayed to somewhere she’d ached to have him touch ever since she’d known him, and everything else melted away.
