“Kendall?” Adelina asked.
“Our son,” the baroness explained. “Two years younger than Marguerite. We were obliged to contribute manpower to the king’s army. Kendall is serving in the garrison at Carlisle, which, fortunately, is only fifty miles away. My husband sent items of his clothing to your kinsmen’s chamber in the hopes something might fit, though I fear Kendall is slightly smaller in stature than your brother and cousin.”
Roland and Terric chose that moment to enter the dining hall. A wave of heat rolled over Adelina.

The baron broke the spell. “Godric reports the soldier you brought seems to be making progress.”
A frown replaced Roland’s smile. “Is he awake?”
At that moment, Adelina didn’t really care. She wanted to remain transfixed by Roland’s piercing gaze.
“Apparently. Still feverish, but Godric thinks he’ll pull through.”
