  “And yet, I only see one thing in your hand.”

  “It is as if they are melted together—something I’ve never seen wood do before, though, in truth, they were very old.” She forced a smile to her lips though she felt only sorrow over the loss. “Where there were two, now there is only one.”

  Chase picked up the wooden treasure between his thumb and forefinger, holding it out at arm’s length in front of the open window so that it almost looked as if it floated on the surface of the moon framed there.

  “I can’t promise you that I’ll always believe in the things you believe in. I can’t promise that I’ll accept that our future is already set in stone by some old women weaving under a big tree. But I agree with what your gods are telling you with this, Christy. We are meant to be one. Both of us are warriors in this life, calling upon the strength of our conviction that we belong together. Both of us have been given the gift of rebirth into a new life.”

  He lifted her palm to his lips, pressing a kiss to the spot before replacing the rune into her hand.

  “You hang on to that, love. I don’t know what’s to come for us, but I do know that little treasure in your hand is the best symbol I can imagine for our new life. Here. Together. As one.”
