Rain drops started falling noisily on the dry leaves around them. "We best make our way home before it starts raining in earnest," Hugo said, wrapping his arm around his wife.
"I bet I'll make it there before you do," Elisabeth challenged her brother.
"Never," he declared and set off at a cracking pace. Elisabeth ran after him.
"We might have to get her used to wearing gowns," Hugo said.
"There is plenty of time for such nonsense," Eloise said and picked up James, placing him on her hip. The leaves crunched as she walked, her breeches tucked into her boots. She sighed at the feeling of his body next to her. "Welcome home, my love."
Drawing her head to him, he kissed her.
"Do you like the fort?"
"I love it. I never quite know what I will find when I come home." He smiled then grew more pensive.
"What is it?" she asked, seeing immediately that something was preying on his mind.
"I was summoned by the king."
Eloise narrowed her eyes. "And?"
"How do you feel about Denmark?"
"Denmark?"
"It seems the French are trying to make friends and King Edward wants to keep a closer eye on their activities. He has offered me a commission as an envoy."
Eloise smiled. "I never got a chance to see Denmark."
"I thought you might see it that way."
