“My task is not finished.”
Aware of my exposed feet growing numb, I crossed the flagstone
path to retrieve my cast off slippers. “What more would Lord Silvaticus seek to
learn? Whether or not I am pox-scarred or deformed? I assure you I stand whole
and have all my limbs and digits.” I spread my fingers for emphasis. “They are
straight and serve me well.”
Bryn Wolfe’s mouth twitched. “Nay, Silvaticus is concerned he
should find a blade between his ribs on his wedding night.”
I laughed. “He fears a woman?”
“He is a cautious man, not prone to impulse.”
