“Och! ‘Tis late--I must finish my gathering and return home. Will you be here tomorrow, Master Niall?”“Why, I’ve no reason to be leavin’ t...is place yet, do I? If you seek me, me you’ll find.”Maeve went off down the path, found some flowers nodding to the brook they grew beside, gathered them and returned to the castle.As she went about her evening tasks, she thought of Niall, and her thoughts were such as to cause dismay in her father if he’d known. She remembered how his strong fingers. "I was honoured to do it Jacques. I had young Jean-Woodrow on one breast, and you on the other; the two most favoured males in my life, now that Woody is no longer with us." There was a tremor in her voice, and I reached out and took her hand. "I could not bear to tell you that he was dead, when I returned to the château. I miss him almost as much as you do."I didn't know if Krish had told Mimi of Woodrow's marriage, so thought it best to say nothing. "You have given me the gift of life, the. Could you give me a second chance? As friends? She stared up at him in shock and nodded, fumbling her words as she did so, Uh, yeah, sure! Thank you. Do you want to come over tomorrow? He offered, Id love to sit and talk with you. Plus, were bringing the horses in tomorrow to start prepping them for sale. Do you like horses? Yeah, She nodded, I do. Id love to come see them. Great, He smiled, Ill just take you home with me after school then, okay? Okay, She said, Bye. He smiled at her, See ya. "I'm the best damn investigator they have," he said to himself. "I must be out of my mind to put up with this shit."Feeling nothing but disgust Tom tossed the unread file onto his desk; he did not need to read what was in the report, it was all over the news, there was a home invader loose on the streets. The invader's MO was simple enough, he would enter into a home to steal money and force women to undress in front of him. "How is this guy getting past security?" Tom said to himself. Tom knew.
