Chapter 24: Nobody Says It For Her
The box held a brass key on a leather cord.
Rafe opened it with a thumb that would not hold still.
"It's the key to the old surveyor's hut," he said. "At the edge of my valley, where it touches your Ridge. I've been fixing the roof for three weeks."
"Three weeks."
"Since before you let me carry the pot."
She stared at him.
"I don't want you to move into my house," said Rafe. "I want to build one on your fence line, with a door on each side. So you can walk to me, and I can walk to you. And nobody has to be anyone's keeper."
"That's the question?"
"That's the question. Will you?"
She took the key.
It was warm from his hands.
"Yes," said Demelza. "And you're bringing your own coffee."
He picked her up and spun her, right there at the foot of the porch steps, with the whole Hall watching through the windows, and a roar went up behind the glass that rattled the lanterns on their hooks.
Then they walked up the Ridge road together, the way the Brocklehurst tradition said a rite should begin.
Every wolf in the pack came behind them with a lantern.
Hers, and the MacShane wolves', and Rafe's Kincaids at the back.
Nan walked at the front with her soup pot in the crook of her arm, because she said nobody had told her to leave it.
