Highland Captive Page 36
“I’ve seen these things happen,” Oslow continued. “Men taking a blow to the head and not rightly remembering. The lass may ne’er remember, Laird.”
Darach exchanged a glance with Lachlan. The MacKay laird shrugged, and Darach returned his gaze to her, expression bland.
“Is that what’s happened, Caitlin? You canna remember anything? Other than your name, of course. And how to speak French?”
“Well, things are a bit foggy. Maybe in the morning, my mind will be clear.”
Darach stared at her before answering. “Maybe.” Then strong fingers gripped her chin and tilted her head.
To her surprise, his eyes had darkened. He released her and traced his fingers over her face, following the same path she’d taken earlier on his face. Her heart swelled and something filled her deep inside.
When he spoke, his voice was grave. “I promise to keep you safe, sweetling. You’ll come to no harm while there is breath in my body. I pledge this on the honor of the MacKenzies.”
