Doula

"Doula stopped walking. She was stunned. She thought she might be taken into Soter's family home as a foundling or even as a slave needing new employment. She was, after all, a runaway, though she hardly dared think of herself that way. Could it be possible that Soter loved her enough to make her his bride? She was not even fit to be a servant the the royal court of Soter's father."
