His golden eyes connect with mine and an electrical shock courses through me. My stomach bottoms out in a traitorous way. I fight that feeling off and focus on the emotions that come swiftly after. Anger, irritation. My lips purse themselves into a tight, impatient line. It’s Thorak gods-damned Ironfist. What is my high school tormentor doing in my inn?!
What a coincidence….
Her hair falls in waves, a cascade of chestnut that brushes against my arm, stirring something ancient and protective within me.
But her hair was just in a bun like 5 pages ago
His words send a shiver down my spine, and I find myself leaning closer, drawn in by the warmth of his presence.

Ecco purses her lips. “Just don’t let your guard down.” I sigh, sinking down onto one of the plush couches. “I don’t know, Ecco. I thought I had Thorak all figured out, but seeing him today...he’s different. More mature, more driven. And the way he looks at me sometimes...”
Again, too soon! Just two days ago she was so guarded & angry — he’s barely had any time to start to grovel.
That despite everything, despite the painful memories and the years of resentment, I’m starting to feel something for Thorak.
TOO. SOON.
“Have you properly groveled yet?

Literally screamed “YES” as I read this.
Snuffles, my teacup boar,
Ooh that’s a cute Orc pet
Ecco’s eyes mist over as she listens, her hands clasped to her chest. “Oh, Mariah,” she sighs. “I was skeptical of his intentions by agreeing to this deal but I think I was wrong. Don’t you see? He’s been in love with you this whole time.”
