I have from the moment we met. Mabe before, the fitst time you tried to hit your first target dummy. You knocked his heas off. I was with a wooden sword. You were angry at your father for making you last."<br/><br/>Kate sniffled and wiped her eyes with her dress skirt, "I...I could... not let... them take you. Besides, I want to see the other world. I had to protect you. The have arrested you...place you in the dungeon. My love, I could not let them harm you. Your letters revealed your heart. You told all you father did. The best place for you, my love, is here, on Papa's ship. Captain O'Mally can be trusted."<br/><br/>Kate placed her soft lips to his and held the kiss, as she hugged him. She broke the kiss and stroke his cheek softly, "I will leave a note saying I went with you on a mage errand. You did not kidnap me. Whether they believe that or not, is another question.  All that matters is our being together. You need to get comfortable and rest. We can sleep late. Do you want the light on or off?"
