Keziah was tired, both physically and mentally. Today had been draining and nothing she did seemed to keep her from thinking of her brother and Elizabeth. The possibility that they were unharmed was what she clung to. Until they came to her or -- oh, that's right...Samuel and Elizabeth didn't know where she was. They didn't know that she'd been taken as prisoner along side as stranger she claimed to be her husband. Were they worried? Very likely, but she didn't think they were so worried now that war had reached their door and they had to stay alive. 

The nurse didn't know why she hadn't pulled away before the kiss could even happen. She should have. Keziah did kiss back, reaching up and tangling her fingers into the hair on the back of his head. But she as quickly as she had returned the kiss, she was pulling away from him with scarlet cheeks. She didn't meet his eyes, instead she busied herself with tending to the flames of the fireplace. It had been a while since she'd last kissed anyone. Her last suitor hadkissed her, many times, and he even tried getting intimate with her but she had always declined his advances. After a while of silence, she looked over at William. "I want to return to Lexington. To my father." Perhaps if she was there rather than here then things would be better. She didn't want to get drug into this war anymore. Yes she believed in the cause, of an independent country, but she didn't want to see young men dying or to hear their wailing when they woke up and realized they were missing limbs. She was a midwife, she brought little babies into the world, she didn't send their fathers out of it.

"I...I want you to come with me." She turned to look at him once she was done with the fire. Her hands were twisted together and she looked off to the side of the room. "If this battle that took place today wasn't supposed to happen...then..." she didn't think he could go home. To his time, not hers. "But before I go to Lexington...I want to find Samuel and Elizabeth." Keziah needed to know if they were dead or alive. It'd certainly calm her down if she had answers.
