His voice was quiet and hoarse, as though he didn't trust himself to say more. . He was more handsome than Nabal, but his expression was as dark as Nabal's had been the night he had assaulted her the first year of their marriage.Adonai, help me! Her knees grew weak, and she wasn't sure they would hold her, but she reined in her donkey just the same and slipped from its back. In the stories she'd heard of him, he was the shepherd and singer and the man who would kill to marry the woman he loved. He was so close she could feel the strength of him, smell his sweat.
