Chapter 48

Cordia was storing up a supply of bandages, as well as other medical supplies, in a little cupboard in the corner of a room off behind the staircase. Even though she didn't feel it would be proper to shut the door, she didn't think anyone would be coming back that way, and they would have a little privacy. She took one of the lanterns out of the foyer as she passed so that she could see to light the lamps in the room. For some reason, she felt a little nervous as she entered. She went about the business of lighting the place up and getting out her supplies.

"Where do you want me?" Will asked.

"Well," she said looking around the room, "why don't you have a seat on the table there so that I can see it a little better."

He did as he was told, and she slowly walked over, setting her supplies and the original lamp down beside him.

"I was wondering how I was ever going to get you alone," he said quietly.
