“Why, you’re bleeding!” She stepped up to him and used one corner of the sheet to dab at his neck. “That wretched Wallace. I wish I’d shot him while I had the chance.” Her vehemence amused him. “Or hit him hard enough to kill him.

I’ll have to buy you a bigger cane.” “That’s not funny.” Her hand stilled on his neck, and she lowered her voice. “What do you think they’ll do with us?” “I don’t know,” he said truthfully. “Crouch won’t like it that I’m involved, though if he learns who you are… That’ll only make things worse, give him two Knighton relations to ransom. Let’s keep your identity secret, all right?” “But Pryce will recognize me,” she pointed out. He sighed. “I forgot about that. Still, there’s no point in tipping our hand any sooner than necessary, so let’s hide it as long as we can.” She nodded, but she couldn’t quite hide her fright, and something caught in his chest at the sight of it.

Cupping her face in his hands, he planted a swift kiss on her lips. “Don’t worry yourself, love. It’ll be all right, I swear. Somehow we’ll get out of this.

They dressed quickly. Picking up her sketch pad and pencil, Helena glanced at Daniel. “I don’t suppose they’ll let me take this.” “I imagine not.” With grim determination, she opened the pad and tore out the sketch of him, then folded it up and stuffed it into her pelisse pocket along with her pencil. When he chuckled, she stalked past him. “Don’t you be getting a swelled head. I merely hate to see some of my finest work lost.” “And here I was thinking you were starting to feel a certain affection for me, lass,” he teased. She paused at the stall door to cast him an earnest glance. “Oh, Danny, I am. Promise me you won’t do anything to get yourself killed.” Her concern warmed him, taking the edge off the chill of their capture. “You
