“I thought I put all this behind me years ago, when the last man who came barging into our lives was paid off and when Ruby was arrested. We’ve not had any mention of that bastar-of that man’s name for years. We washed our hands of him and his disease. If this is the same thing, I don’t know what I’ll do and it’s the last thing Gyth needs, not with his wedding coming up. Or Nessy for that matter, she just had the baby.”

*The following notice was hastily posted to those working and connected to The Laine Family Business; pushed under doors, left within letter boxes or handed in person, long before the morning's sun had risen*

It had been a long mind-boggling day by the time the sun was setting low against the horizon of the lake, casting shadows and darkening corners in every nook and cranny. The Inn was a welcome respite after all the excitement. The fires had been lit by the Inn maid and the smell of something roasting was thickly wafting through the main common room from the kitchen at the back. 

Nessya grinned full of larks as she looked over the delicious smelling options of food and treats that were on display in the indoor market. The timing could not have been more perfect as not many people were about yet, or if there had been it was during the morning rush. Their morning had understandably been occupied with their news and visit to the healer.
