…and just waiting for Malcolm to return. There are only 18 chapters so far, but it’s a swoon-​​worthy read, as Gwynn would say.

“A Love Story”

I based the title on Malcolm’s little revelation with Drileu in Brittany:

“I want to be a part of such a love story,” she said shyly. “Even just a little part.”

He sat up and stared at her in surprise. Her cheeks were as pink as roses.

A love story?” he whispered.

The thought made him giddy, and a laugh burbled out of him as though a little boy were still trapped inside this middle-​​​​aged boy’s body. Drileu giggled with him until he stroked a finger down her cheek and chin, and she stilled and bloomed as beautifully as before.

Next up I suppose I will do some sort of politico-​​Sigefrithian storyline. Sort of the historically annotated guide to Lothere. :-) I expect this to be quite an undertaking.

Politico-Sigefrith.
