The dance with her Godfather ended and she did not see the young knight. Worried about the young lady she left upstairs, Kate went to check on her. She knew the servant girl was a new arrival and did not know the members of the household. It was common on holidays to take in servants from friends. Kate had some idea the girl was in hiding and the young knight was related to her. Who was she really and would the young lady revel her true identity?<br/><br/>Kate knocked on the door, "Is Kate, may I come in?"<br/><br/>A groggy voice answers, "Yes."<br/><br/>Kate enters and closed the door behind her. "How are you feeling?"<br/><br/>Ristina sits up in bed, "Better. I would feel better leaving. Are the guests still here?"<br/><br/>Kate walks in and sits in a chair next to the bed, "Yes. They will be here for hours. These parties go past midnight."<br/><br/>Ristina sighs and fluffs the pillows, "How long have you known my cousin?"<br/><br/>Kate looks at her, "Just tonigh. He is a really good dancer. Who taught him."<br/><br/>Ristina smiles, "I did."<br/><br/>Kate laughs a bit, "You sure taught him well. Someone taught him manners as well. He is a gentleman.. he is affectionate. Never met a knight that was."<br/><br/>Ristine giggles. "He is a charmer. When he wants to be."<br/><br/>Kate laughs. "I do like him and am glad he is here. I hope Papa allows him to stay at least till spring. I hope you will stay too. Winterfest is just started and soon the Pass will close. This time of year so much fun. Please stay. I care not why you are in hiding. I can tell you and Alex are close. Please stay."<br/><br/>Kat
