Chapter Eighty-Two

So this was how her last night with Ketil was going to be spent, with them both miserable and not even a loving kiss to temper her heartache. There was no going back now. In true Norse fashion she really had burned her boats.

Miriam turned over, hugging the pillow. Once she had taken such a thing for granted. Yet the time spent without one had been so much more – enlightening.

“Please say you will come for a visit when the snows melt.”

It was an unfamiliar growl.

“Ketil, this is hard enough without you behaving like this.”

She wiped away a stray tear, determined to show no weakness. Her resolve was already crumbling, but he wasn’t to know that.

“Go to sleep,” he said. “You will need all your strength tomorrow.”

Something in his voice set her wondering. Miriam supposed she was merely clutching at straws.

“You do not command me,” she told him, her eyes wide open.

Moving onto her back in a huff
