Blood of the Clans Ch. 15

"Get yerself in here, ye fool. Standing there all daft looking." Grayson chastened him in hushed tones.

Garreth went back into the room, looking at the letter in his hand, studying the seal and her writing again. Grayson closed the door behind him and looked at what Garreth was holding.

"She wrote ye a letter? Are ye going tae open it then?"

"She told me I had tae wait 'til the morrow tae open it, after she's sailed. I don't know why, but that's what she said."

Garreth put the letter in his pouch and sat by the window, looking out to where Therese might be, hoping his thoughts could reach her. Grayson looked at his friend and felt a happiness in his friend's love for her, but a shroud of uncertainty hung over his thoughts, as to what had transpired and what was yet to come because of it.
