Two Hearths and Two Hearts

Killer-Kate and Luke Lackland: 1,700 words, and the end of the chapter.  The Young Duke receives his answer, and by-and-by departs to create an extra bonus scene elsewhere, because there is no way he would not.  This is a much better set-up for the ferocious chapter that follows, than the one I had before.  I actually winced at the parallel which occurred to him and me in the very last paragraph.

He has even more reasons to be unreasonable with Kate & Co. than the ones that were always obvious.  Reasons other than being related to Kate and more than a bit like her, too.  Though that's a pretty big reason, or at least a pretty good explanation, right out of the gate.

Now I'm back to "two chapters and an epilogue" remaining of the first draft, again.  Finally, I come to the second of my three climactic showdowns - the military/revolutionary one in Langdale, the political/family one here, and beyond that...

The Big Bad!
