Chapter 3
Jamie POV:
I walked out from our room. I don't know where I am going. Everything that Claire told seems like a dream, only it's not a dream. Claire, my wife, really is from another time. This explains all the questions that popped in my mind.
Oh God now I know why she went back to the stone circle that time. And I punished her. Just because she wanted to return to her time I punished her. I don't know what to do.
Should I send her back? An honorable man will do that. But I don't want to be an honorable man. I want her here with me. But she will suffer here, with a husband who is painted as a criminal and have a price on his head. How will I be able to give her a peaceful life?
My legs lead me to the back of the castle towards the forest where Claire picks her medicinal herb. I remember watching Claire as she carefully picked up her herbs.
What am I going to do?
I lost myself in my thoughts. Suddenly I hear someone calling my name. "Jamie" I looked back to see who was it? I saw Lord Quentin, Claire's uncle, walking towards me with a pipe in his hand.
"It's hard to catch up with you lad" said Lord Quentin as he stands beside me.
"Lord Quentin" I addressed him. "Do you have something to say to me?" I replied blankly, as I am not in a mood to chat.
"Please call me Uncle Lamb. After all you are my Claire's husband." A silence grew between us I don't know what to say. He smoked from his pipe again. "From the look of your face I assume Claire told you about everything?" he asked.
"Yes."
"And what did you think about it?"
"I don't know" I replied lowering my head looking at the grass beneath my feet.
"You believe her?" he asked looking at me raising an eyebrow.
"Of course I do. She is my wife. I vowed to protect her and believe in her."
"I see…." He trailed off and began to smoke his pipe again. "So what are you going to do now?"
"I don't know. I don't know what to do?"
"You Love her very much, don't you?"
"Of course I do. She is my wife. She is my Sassenach. I can give my life for her. I can do anything for her." I replied angrily. How can he doubt my love for Claire?
"If Claire wants to go back in her time will you let her? Will you Jamie Fraser be able to sacrifice your love for her happiness?"
He asked the question I have been dreaded to think about. Will I let her go away from me? Will I be able to live without Claire? I know that I can lay down my life for her but will I be able live in a time where there is no Claire.
I looked at him in the eyes and replied, "If Claire wants that, than for her happiness I am willing to let her go."
