Ye are welcome to…roam about all night if that is your wish. “And the bell is just a recommendation to close down and go inside for rest. “Good evening tide.” He turned, but then pivoted back in rapid succession. “We will come,” she said, her lips pursed like they’d been most of the day as she helped Cait up at the castle. “And Cait is treated well, even though she’s working off her penance.”įiona nodded. “Except, I would miss your kind company, gentlewomen.” Gideon paused as if going over his words. And if ye choose not to come, it will not be noted.” He paused as if thinking. Everyone is welcome, not required, but welcome to participate. “What I meant to say is ye both should…that ye are welcome to come to my…to the Hogmanay Festival for your village, which just happens to be up at the castle. Gideon huffed, turned on his heel, and strode back toward Fiona and Evie. “For a man who spouts laws and rules to his people, you need to be quite careful of the words you use.” ’Tis just…a way to say they should come.” “As in, they will be judged poorly if they do not attend? Perhaps treated poorly?” “Ye are to come to the Hogmanay Festival she is setting up at the castle,” Gideon called. “Cait is treated well.” He turned away but then stopped, looking back. Any longer…because I am not… She didn’t…” He stopped talking, his jaw moving as if it ached.
“Don’t tease about prisoners,” Cait whispered with a groan. “I mean to say, not prisoners, of course.” Fiona came out to stand next to her sister, frowning.
Gideon’s gesture looked awkward like he hadn’t ever waved before. He turned and waved at her, Evie staring back with her mouth agape. “You’d make large strides in winning the villagers over if the sisters liked you.” ’Tis why Fiona was at the castle today.” Her gently arched brows rose. “She thinks ye are being mistreated up at the castle?” he asked. Gideon’s gaze went from Cait to Evie and back to Cait. They live together.” Cait smiled brightly.
