“Please tell me you got to see Sgaeyl?” I ask, summoning the energy to mount. Not sure how, but I manage to climb to his back and settle into the saddle. “I did for a couple of hours. That’s all the time I was willing to be out of range from you, and only after Baide left.” “And they’re already gone, right?” Why does it feel like my heart is breaking all over again? Missing Xaden is illogical and annoying and kind of pathetic, but I can’t make the feeling ebb. “We will see them in a week.” So why does every instinct I have scream we won’t?
