That Night in the Hut.

Next week we'll read the first two chapters of Part IV.

As everyone already says, it's a delicious chapter. Saving Ewen from the firing squad was great, but I figured that was it for meeting three: that Keith went off with Guthrie, leaving Ewen to wait for Lachlan, and that was that, on to meeting four, wherever that should be. (Even as I kept rooting for Keith to come back to nurse Ewen, and even mentally started composing fic in which he does exactly that!)

AND THEN HE ACTUALLY DID. HE DID EXACTLY THAT. HE CAME BACK AND TENDERLY CARED FOR EWEN. JUST LIKE I WANTED.

Because D.K. Broster loves me, apparently.

DKB anticipated your needs from almost a century ago! Perhaps she was a bit of a prophet herself.

D. K. Broster knows what we NEED and she has done her level best to provide it! That tender loving care in a desperate situation is just *chef's kiss*
