To Every Love There is a Season: A historical Romance of the Scottish Border in the reign of King Jo
Page 24
Hugh's color paled as he dropped into the high back chair near the window.
Suddenly, he looked so much older. He gazed up at his son. He wanted to say something, but words failed him.
"One of the guards returned to report thatNicholas had some help in escaping on his journey to London, then he came back here, abducted Kitty and disappeared. I have discreetly questioned a few servants as to Kitty's whereabouts. No one has seen her since we returned from the church. She went to her chamber to rest before tonight's wedding feast, but never came belowstairs."
"What is being done to find her?"
"I have sent the bishop's men to see if Nicholas took Kitty to his home in Fair Haven Castle, although I think it highly unlikely they have gone there."
Hugh gathered his thoughts and stood. Tugging on his tunic, he made his decision. "Say nothing to Ellen and David, or Will and Margaret. I will not have their happiness ruined again by that brigand. Continue the search quietly and keep me informed of your progress."
"That goes without saying, father. We will do everything possible to find Kitty and bring her home. I promise you."
Father and son embraced briefly, a single moment to share the pain of the treachery brought on them once more by Nicholas. They left the small room and quietly closed the door behind them.
Pain and sorrow lingered behind in the dark, left to settle and fester in the confines of the room. May you never know happiness in this world... A young woman sobbed uncontrollably, barely a whisper in the emptiness. Forgive me, Kitty. I did not mean it.
