“Nay, Morag, I would never do that. Besides, he would never admit it even if it were true.”
“What about Alastair?” asked Willow. “Will you ever tell him what you did to try to save the lives of thousands of men?”
Fia looked back at her husband who was smiling and laughing and had one arm around Caitlin’s shoulder and another around his brother, Toran. He had found happiness today in more ways than one. Even if it was his mother at the door, it was her choice whether to make her presence known or not. Fia promised not to speak of things today that upset Alastair. She also promised not to be involved in the Followers of the Secret Heart anymore. There was no need to find out these answers because they no longer mattered.
Alastair waved her over. “Fia. Wife, come join us,” he said. “I want my entire family together on this verra special day. And I want ye at my side every single minute from now on.”
“I am comin’,” said Fia, smiling and feeling a wave of joy flow through her. She looked forward to living a new life with Alastair. Hopefully, someday, she would raise a family with him as well.
She turned back to her sister and cousins. “I will no’ mention the incident with the crown and Richard ever to Alastair and neither will any of ye.”
“Why no’?” asked Morag.
“Because we dinna ken for sure if my actions had anythin’ to do with the English army retreatin’. And as ye all said, we also have no proof that what I did had anythin’ to do with Lorraine’s death.”
“Then you don’t ever want to find out?” asked Maira, sounding as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Nay,” Fia answered, smiling at her husband, wanting nothing more than to be in his arms. She had one more thing to say to her cousins and sister, and then she would start a new life with Alastair, and never keep secrets from him again. “What happened in the past no longer matters. It is only the present we should be concerned with, and continue to move forward. By lettin’ go, we truly learn how to live. So, my answer to ye three is nay, I never want to find out what really happened because it no longer matters to me. Those answers will, from this day on, be naught butHighland Secrets.”
