*Sorcha sniffled and shook her head, pulling away.*
"You wouldn't understand," *she sighed.*

*He sighed a little, too.*
"But I want to, Sorcha. I do." *He didn't like not understanding, especially where she was involved. Unfortunately, he usually didn't understand what was going on where Sorcha was involved. Girls confused him.*

*She looked at him sadly, with pained hopelessness.*
"You...you can want it all you like. There's some things you'll never understand, Liam."
Maybe this is what Mam meant when she talked about people bein' from different worlds...

"Well, then, I won't understand. But I am glad you were born, and you should be too."

"Why?" *she asked fiercely, glaring at him, now.* "Why should I be glad? I RUINED THEIR LIVES! Not just me Mam and me Da, but that girl he loved, before...she waited for him...she was trying to earn the money to come back to him, but...but..."
*Her eyes filled with tears again.*
"Then me."
*She stared out the window of the treecastle at the woods.*
"I can't go home, Liam. They don't want me, there. They really don't. They won't say it, but they don't. I must remind them of what I did every time they look at me."

*In his youthful innocence and utter cluelessness, he really didn't get what he was insinuating with his next words.*
"Well you can marry me, and then you can come and live at Manderley."

*Sorcha stared at him for a second before she burst into guffaws through her tears.*
"Oh, Liam, you always know how to make me laugh!"

*He looked at her earnestly.*
"No, I'm serious. I can't think of anyone better to be in charge of Manderley, except maybe my Mum but eventually she'll get sick of it."

*Sorcha snorted and shoved him a little.*
"Go 'way with you. I can't marry you!" *she chuckled.*

*He frowned, a little hurt, and crossed his arms.*
"Whyever not?" *He said, with all the indignity of someone who was used to getting his way.*

"Well I meant when we grew up, anyway." *He explained, as if she had been expected to infer that.* "Duh. After I go away to school and stuff."

"You're going away?" *she asked, looking at him sharply.*

"Yeah, at the end of the summer. Didn't I tell you that?" *He asked, cocking his head.* "I gotta go to boarding school, but I'll be back for Christmas and Easter hols, as well as during the summers."

*Sorcha shook her head.*
"Ye didn't tell me..."
*She glanced out the window, watching a bird.*
"For how long?"
