When I walked into my chambers and saw the beautiful woman, I didn't know what to say. This wasn't the first time I walked into my chambers to find a beautiful woman waiting for me, but somehow I felt this was different. There was something about her that captivated me. I think I hurt her feelings. I called out to her when she walked away, but she kept walking and did not answer my call.

Tonight I am sleeping in another chamber down the hall from mine. I have claimed this room mine from here on. Isobel has gotten on my nerves. I have honored my part in this little game that Isobel is playing. I lost the wager, therefore she can stay in my chamber for the months agreed upon, but that doesn't mean that I have to stay with her.

I smiled wickedly. I outsmarted her! I can still see her beautiful face twist with rage when I told her I was going to be staying in another room.

Walking in this chamber, I closed the door behind me and immediately there was a tug in my heart. Confused, I walked over to the bed and sat on the russet and amber comforter, a Ralph Lauren luxury I found during one of my time travels, and as my hands caressed the material of the comforter, My heart tightened and I felt sad and depressed.

I jumped up quickly and looked around. Am I reading the impressions left here by another human? A strong smell filled my nostrill. Violets. The same kind of aroma that beautiful woman smelled like. Who was she?

I pulled the kilt off me and jumped in the bed under the covers naked and disturbed. Why was I having a problem getting her out of my mind? I have seen many beautiful woman in my life and none of them stirred me the way this one had. I tried closing my eyes but her image was there. My chest tightened and I felt a deep sense of lost.

I threw back the covers and jumped out of bed! Something was happening to me and I had no clue what that could be. I raked my brain for answers, but nothing came up. I got all choked up and started to cry, and I had no idea why. What was happening to me? Scared, I paced the room thinking hard on a solution to this mystery, but it was no use, the pain deepened and left me weeping. Gut wrenching sobs tore from my throat and I fell back on the bed and cried my heart out.

You screwed up my friend, this time you really blew it, the little voice inside me said.

And without knowing why, I cried even more.
