I nominate Gareth for sainthood. I also nominate him for dunderheadhood, because his views on his absolute authority are positively medieval. Oh, wait, the time period is medieval so I guess that explains that.

But surely anyone willing to take on Clare qualifies for sainthood. Oh, she’s admirable in many ways: compassionate, talented, smart, capable of running an estate, a business, and a community. But she’s got a contrary nature, a hair-trigger temper, and a “my way or the highway�� approach to everything she does. She and Gareth are the irresistible force and the immovable object and it’s pretty darned entertaining to watch them vie for the upper hand. I just wish my emotions had been a little more invested.
