I have gotten Katie to eat some dinner and now she sleeps. You are not to disturb her.” “And if she calls out or asks for something?” Sorcha gave him her best mournful look. “Gareth, Katie’s mind has not recovered from the terrible things she saw.

Laird Rannoch has given me a task that will require some time.”
