Wildflowers growing amongst the reeds on the roof shone in the sun. It was quite a large building, considering the tiny one-room shacks that entire families lived in, elsewhere in the valleys.

It looked cozy, homely and safe. The silence in the glen was broken only by the lowing of cows somewhere nearby and the quiet tread of the horses. Rob halted his horse and caught at her reins to bring her alongside. “What do you think?” he asked. “It looks wonderful,” she said truthfully. “And very quiet.” He grinned and tugged both horses into motion again. “That was the idea.” His abduction had been planned carefully and included a horse for Tally waiting in the next valley, with food in the saddlebag to keep her nausea at bay.
