He was sitting not far away, watching me, and I surprised a smile on his face, the first real smile I had ever seen him give, a smile that curved and softened the tight mouth, and warmed the ice-cool eyes; a smile that brought the blood to my face and made my heart turn over.

I'm here, Sorcha. I would not believe it at first; it had been so long since he had touched my mind in this way. I'm here. Try to let go, dear one. I know how it hurts. Lean on me; let me take your burden for a while. I could scarcely see him; he was on the far side of the fire, behind the others and half turned away, with his head still in his hands. It seemed as if he had scarcely moved at all. How can you? How can you know? I know. Let me help you. I felt the strength of his mind flow into mine, and somehow he managed to close off the terrible, the dark and secret things that he had dreaded sharing with me, and fill my head with pictures of all that was good and brave.
