“He cannae find many Englishmen here.”
“Nay, but he died not far from here, and I think he may be stuck here. Why do ye ask so many questions if ye think I am mad?”
“Mayhap I but try to see the reasoning behind your delusions.”
“And mayhap ye are just bored.” She stood up and moved to the door. “Ye will have to seek your entertainment elsewhere, sir. I dinnae really like being the source of your amusement.”
Ruari sat up as she opened the door. “Ye cannae expect everyone to believe ye without question.”
“Nay, I dinnae ask that of anyone. I do not, howsoever, expect to be thought mad or made an object of ridicule.”
He winced when she left, shutting the heavy door behind her with a distinct thud. Sending her away angry and offended had not been his plan, he thought as he slumped against his pillows. When she had arrived after hiding from him for two days, his first thought had been to cheer the opportunity to steal another kiss and to hope for more, much more. Instead she had begun to speak of ghosts and talked to someone who was not there. He, in turn, had acted as if she were foaming at the mouth and waving a bloodstained battle-axe around. That was no way to accomplish a seduction.
“But she speaks to the air,” he muttered angrily then took several deep breaths to calm himself.
Many people believed in ghosts. Even though he had never met anyone who thought he could talk to them, he had no right to scorn her beliefs. She was right to get so angry. He stared at the door and wondered how long she would hide from him this time.
