The Worlds of Katherine Kurtz

How awful!  Holding them all up.

I am so sorry to hear about the tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and with your daughter  in dealing with such a loss

I am so sorry to hear that such a tragedy occurred.  You and your daughter, as well as the family, will be in my thoughts.

I am praying for them.  So very sorry to hear about such devastating circumstances. 

Darcy Cameron struggled to supress another laugh as they rode forward.  Hell would probably not freeze over on this warm summer day, but he grinned nevertheless.  Lord Jaxom continued to ride on Aliset’s other side.  Either the man had chosen to ignore Aliset’s cool reception, or he was oblivious to the fact.  Darcy thought it was more likely oblivion.

They turned onto the sideroad to avoid the farmsteads.  It was narrower than the main road and Darcy was forced to move Sigrun onto the grass.  The footing was not as sure here, and he did not want to risk an injury to her.

“Lord Jaxom,” Darcy called across.  “Could you move back or up? There’s not enough room for the three of us abreast on this road.”

“Pick whichever you prefer,” Jaxom called back and kept firmly in his position beside Aliset. 

Let’s move up, on three, Aliset Mind-Spoke to Darcy.  Darcy saw the determined look in her eye and nodded.  One…two…three!

In unison, Darcy and Aliset spurred Sigrun and Papillon ahead, leaving the startled Jaxom positioned behind.

“Hold on, Darcy! That was not what I meant!” Jaxom shouted.

“Keep up as best you can,” Darcy called over his shoulder, and Aliset smiled.
