Chapter 64: The Bow and the Bird

 The next morning Vincent had Harris wake him early, careful not to wake Delaney too. He slipped from her bed and followed his valet to his own bedroom where he washed and dressed, going to join Miles.

 When Delaney woke some time later, she got ready for the day and, since the men had already eaten, had breakfast in her room.  She sat at her small table and looked out the window at the forest outside, going on as far as she could see.

   Vincent and Miles would be going into those woods later to go hunting. She didn't particularly like the idea of her husband going off into a forest that had so recently proven itself to be swarming with wolves.

 Vincent had assured her though that the two of them had done it all their lives and they would be safe. Harris was also going which did make her feel a bit better. At least they would have someone with some medical skills.
