‘I tried me best, but …’
The dress would never be the same. And somehow, it did not matter.
‘Come, Wat.’ His mother held out her hand. ‘Don’t bother this lady.’
Stella tightened her hand on his. ‘He is no bother. I’d like to watch him for you.’
Surprise dissolved into relief and then a shrug. ‘Do what you like. It will keep him from under me feet.’
Anger made her tongue tart. ‘You take little enough care of him. He wanders by himself. Something could happen to him.’
The Widow’s weary eyes met hers, a gaze at once hollow and overfull. ‘Who are you to judge my life?’
No one, she realised. She was no one at all. ‘Come, Wat. Find your ball and we will play.’
Days passed.
Rob allowed her outside the walls, as long as she was with Wat, somehow knowing that the grip of the boy’s fingers held her as tightly as an iron chain.
Each day, Stella took Wat down to check the garth, but if there were fish in the river, they were clever enough to swim past the trap. Still, Wat never lost hope.
And she was smiling at his faith when they walked back inside the gates late one morning and she came face to face with the Brunson Warrior Woman.
The woman her kin had so grievously wronged. The woman who had ridden with the men to track him down and exact revenge for the killing of her father.
