Anyone who could look at Eveline and not smile was a harder man than he. The very sight of her did odd things to his mood. He wasn’t selfless enough to grant her freedom. No matter what he had to do, she would stay by his side.Īnd yet the thought of her being so unhappy ripped his heart out. If she’d given up, truly given up, then what was there left for him to do? He couldn’t fight this, fight for her, if she refused to communicate with him. She directed her gaze downward, refusing to look at Graeme, which effectively prevented him from speaking to her. Tentatively he reached for her hand, but as soon as his fingers soothed over her palm, she yanked it away and clutched both hands together in her lap. “But I do not want to be here any longer.” “I know ’tis not possible,” she said in a voice strained with tears. She was staring toward her father’s lands with a look of such longing that a lump formed in his throat.

He lowered himself to the ground next to her, but her attention was focused on a faraway point. The grass was taller here in a small meadow where there was less slate and rock to prevent grass and flowers from growing. She was perched on a flat rock in the midst of the flowers.

He forced himself to remain calm as he came to stand beside her. Even a fool could see that she was miserable. A cold fist of dread clenched his throat and squeezed relentlessly. His first reaction was to shout, “Nay!” It took all his restraint not to shout the denial.
