EVEN WITH JUST A FEW hours of sleep, Patrick felt invigorated as he started to walk up the hill. He carefully examined the faces of those coming down just in case, and he was not yet halfway up when he spotted Graw. He was pleased when she also stopped and then waited for him to reach her on the other side of the road.

“You have come back,” said she.

“Aye, the king requested it.”

“He favors you, I think.”

“Not as much as he favors you. Are you going to the market? I have a friend who said you might.”

Graw was surprised. “Who?”

“Her name is Kylie and she has recently married my brother, Callum.”

“Not yet, their marriage was a bit hurried.”

“Hurried? Oh do tell me what happened.”

“Well, as near as I can tell, her father...”
