He let go of my chin and pointed to my bedroll. “Sleep. We leave—” “At dawn. I know.” The corner of his mouth turned up. “Good night, my queen.” I should have thanked him before he walked away. For killing the monster. For checking on me. For putting my fears to rest with his presence alone. But I settled on my blanket and let him disappear into the dark. He was probably with Tillia already, standing guard. Together. Well, at least they weren’t cuddling on her bedroll.
Oooh shes jelly!!
