Words in a book, entry seven



I've not written much lately. Things have been busy, strange, up, down, all over. The baby grows stronger each day. I've had a few close calls, every time he stood at my side. Even when I walked away from him.

There has been a great deal of danger for me and the child. We have now stepped away from each other, at least in public. I take a different route back to camp each time, making sure I am never followed. It helps that we've lynxes that keep watch for us. They patrol at the distance we cannot see.

I find I need to put this here. Aeruthuil did something I never thought he would do. Not only did I not think he would, he flat out told me he'd not. He asked me to be his wife. I now wear a ring, but it is basic enough to not draw eyes. Something special that only I know what it means. On his hand sits one I gave him weeks before. Something I had specially made by a friend. I'll leave this here. I'm still in shock, days after he asked and I said yes. I fear I will wake up and learn it was just a dream.
