Held by the Highlander: A Scottish Time Travel Romance Page 14
He looked back inside, glancing up at the vaulted ceiling that was barely visible in the gloom. “Are you testing me, Lord?” he asked out loud.
There was no answer spoken but he heard one nonetheless, returning to the altar and resuming his prayers. Whoever they were, they were nothing to do with him. Perhaps there had been no one at all. During the worst of the ague he had thought he'd heard many conversations, seen many things that could not possibly be there, figures floating past him in the darkness, demons crawling over his body, their tongues wrapping around his throat, choking him into oblivion. This was likely another vision, another test of his resolve. He had failed by becoming distracted from his prayers. He must be strong, he must concentrate on repentance, not on the worldly affairs of others.
“I pray you give strength to Beth and Andrew ” he said out loud, his voice echoing around the chapel. “Bless their union, my Lord, I beg you.”

Eight centuries later two men walked through a doorway into a brightly lit room. The noise of the traffic outside was jarring after the near silence of the chapel in the past.
“It's true,” one said. “I can't believe it's really true.”
The other man sank into a chair, shaking his head slowly. “What good does it do us if they aren't where they're supposed to be? We're going to have to tell him.”
“He's not going to like it.”
“No." A sigh as he dug a cellphone out of his pocket. "No, he is not.”
