‘JUDY!’ Beth’s raised voice struck fear into their hearts. ‘Where the divil are you?’
Hurrying to the barn door, Davie peered out through the cracks. ‘It’s your mam,’ he told Judy. ‘I’d best go.’ Running back to where she was brushing the horse-hairs from her skirt, he took her by the shoulders. ‘It’s time to say goodbye.’ He handed her the letter. ‘You will see that Grandad gets this, won’t you?’
‘You know I will.’
He gazed at her, feeling lonelier than he had ever felt. ‘Thanks for everything, Jude.’
‘Where the dickens is that girl?’ Beth’s voice was even closer now.
The boy turned and would have kissed her on the forehead, but suddenly Judy was kissing him, full on the mouth and with her arms round his neck. It was a fleeting kiss, but it spoke volumes.
‘I’ll write,’ Davie said, as he clambered out of the window.
‘Promise?’
His promise was the smile he gave her. And then he was gone.
