“Aye,” Dougall said, with a teasing lilt to his voice. “She must first find ye a lass and then decide how she’s going to torture ye until she gets ye together.”

“Dougall!” Helene apologized to Edna. “I’m so sorry fer me man’s bad behavior.”

Edna didn’t seem to mind at all. She thought the comment quite funny and was heartily laughing.

“Did ye do that fer Sara and Logan?” Hamish asked.

“Nae. Sara did that all by herself. She’s a stubborn lass, as ye’ll soon ken, Logan.”

“I already ken it,” Logan said, winking at Sara.

“I can be quite stubborn, too,” Hamish added.

“Hamish, if I let ye come to the future, it will be on me own terms, nae yers.”

“Don’t push it, Hamish,” Sara said. “She might turn you into a toad.”

Everyone laughed at this, with the exception of Hamish who was taking this all quite seriously.

“Hamish, while I’ll nae take ye with me when I go home, I will keep ye in mind fer a time yet to come. Dinnae be disappointed. I promise ye’ll be in me thoughts and if an opportunity presents itself, yer me man.”

A wide grin spread across his face. Edna had appeased him. They could now hopefully talk about something else, which they did until the yawning began and everyone decided they needed to sleep before they continued on with their trip.

Sara slept snuggly in Logan’s arms and thanked the bright and shining stars above her head for her good fortune.
