A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

So the cart had lodged in the ford at Harrowmere, one wheel gone under, and Maud the elder was up to her knees in brown water cursing the oxen by their grandmothers' names, while Ysolde sat on the bank with the egg basket in her lap and would not lift a finger. Mind, I say sat. She had her arms folded tight, and she had been folded like that since Midsummer, when their father gave the mill to Maud and the orchard to nobody at all. You know what a sulk looks like in a kingdom as small as Caddery. It spreads like damp.

Maud came out of the water at last, and she did not speak. She crouched beside her sister, lifted the basket onto the flat stone, and pressed a thumb to the inside of Ysolde's wrist, the way their mother used to test bread. Then she said the thing they had said since they were small enough to share a cradle. Sister to sister. Heart to heart. Ysolde laughed in spite of herself, and the two of them went on with the old rhyme, the one about being bonded together and right from the start, while the oxen stood steaming and bored in the shallows.

The ferryman, a man called Eudo Strake who had counted every crossing at Harrowmere for forty years, swore he saw the two girls' shadows merge on the water that afternoon, though the sun sat behind the willows and there were no shadows to speak of. He wrote it in his ledger anyway. Under the day's tolls he set down a single line, and it is still there if you ask the clerk at the bridge house to fetch the book.

The wheel came up on the third heave. Maud did not say thank you, and Ysolde did not expect her to, and that is how the sisters of Caddery knew they were square.
