Chapter ONE - Weebly

Ethan could tell that Kannice was watching him,
thinking of more to say. But at last she blew out the lone
candle burning in the room and lay down beside him.
She touched his arm lightly and Ethan reached back to
give her hand a quick squeeze. Soon after, he fell
asleep.
When Ethan woke, Kannice was already up. The
room was cold, though the bed was still warm where
she had lain. She had pulled on a long, plain dress and
was plaiting her hair.
Seeing that he was awake she said, “Good morning.
Are you hungry?”
Ethan nodded and tried to rub the sleep from his
eyes.
“Bacon? Bread? Eggs?”
“Aye,” he said.
Kannice laughed. “Fine. Don’t take too long getting
yourself out of bed. Unlike some people, I have to
work today.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
She came to the bed, kissed him, and slipped out of
the room.
