Summary: Y is for yes.
-
Y is for yes, the answer Kel gives when Margarry asks the question she's so long been afraid to hear. She truly does like Margarry, but they will never be friends because first she had him and then he was Margarry's, and now he belongs to neither of them and no one can be happy. Wyldon's daughter is still the lady of Jesslaw, even without a husband of the blood to raise the heir in her belly, but Owen had been thinking ahead and left instruction upon his death for a steward to manage the fiefdom until his son had his shield. The unborn babe would be the only child of an only child, and Kel can sympathise even if she can't know.
"You loved him very, very much," Margarry says to Kel, and Kel watches her warily as she waits for what comes next. "Did he love you the same?"
