“Not a word.”
"You never know with Edna, she might just pop up here when you least expect it. That’s what happened with me.” Sara had an impish smile on her lips. “So, you two are doing it, huh?”
Zeke chuckled. “Are you and Logan doing it?”
“We’re married. Of course we’re doing it.”
“Well, sis, I’m married too, so, yes, we’re doing it.”
Sara opened her mouth to comment, but Zeke cut her off.
“And don’t ask me for the details. That… is none of your business.”
Sara rolled her eyes skyward. “I’ll walk with you to Helene’s house. I want to say hello.”
Zeke slung the bags over his shoulder and they headed off to the MacRae’s.
“I almost forgot to tell you. You’ll never guess who I met when I first got here.” Sara’s excitement was obvious, but Zeke had no idea who she could be talking about.
“Sara, I don’t know anyone here,” Zeke responded, nodding to one of Sara’s neighbors as they passed a nearby cottage.
“Yes, you do. Think about it for a minute.” He watched with some amusement as she tried desperately to keep from jumping up and down.
Zeke raked his fingers through his hair. “I know Logan and Dougall.”
“And you also know that’s not the answer.” She turned to face him, pursing her lips and crossing her arms while walking backwards in front of him.
“Right.” He thought about it for a while and then a huge grin broke out on his face. “Nick! Did you see Nick?”
“Ding, ding, ding! Yes. I did. He’s married to a really sweet lady, who also happens to be a time traveler, named Kat. He’s laird of his own castle. It’s in a place called Dunnet Head.”
Sara faced forward once again and grasped his arm. He could feel her happy energy flowing into him. “I’d love to see him before I go back.”
“It’s kind of far,” Sara said.
“Maybe next time then,” he said, disappointment in his voice. “How is he?”
“He’s great! I told him all about the studio and he was happy to hear that things were going so well for you. He even asked about Wade.”
“I miss that guy. He was such an inspiration to me. I never got a chance to tell him how much he really did for me.”
“I think he knows.”
They dropped Zeke’s things off at the MacRae’s only to find that no one was home. So they headed back to Breaghacraig to look for them.

“You know, Sara, I’m pretty happy right now.” Zeke strolled along beside his sister, feeling like the luckiest man on earth.
“I happy for you,” Sara said. “I was really worried about you after Helene left. Edna really knows a thing or two about love. I wonder how she figures it all out.”
“I don’t know. Maybe she sets the stage and then it’s up to the players to write the script,” Zeke said.
They entered the courtyard to a sight that put Zeke on high alert. There seated on horseback among a dozen or so men, sat Nevil Munro.
“What’s he doing here?” he snarled.
“You know him?” Sara asked.
