“I’m not beautiful. In fact, only kind people would even term me a pretty woman.”
“Then they are not merely kind, they are blind,” Deegan assured her. “You have a beauty that transcends time.”

“It isn’t a religion, it’s a gift,” he corrected, “and I haven’t uttered a bit of blarney to you, my lass. If things were different, I would court you in earnest.”
If things were different. But they weren’t. She was still the strapping daughter of a city clerk and he was still a man in love with someone else….
