Sherwood Smith Quote

Beyond the doors, the street and the gates were empty. The Hill Folk had vanished as mysteriously as they had come.A shuddering sigh of relief, not my own, brought my attention home and heartward. I shut my eyes, smiling, and clung with all my strength to Vidanric as kisses rained on my hair, my eyes, and finally--lingeringly--on my lips.The duel was over, and we had won.
