Vel smiled, the expression both hard and tremulous. “You think I don’t love Caethari,” he said. “But I do. I love him so much I hardly know what to do with it.” Vel laughed, the sound so fragile and perfect that Cae’s heart clenched in his chest. “I think I’ve been falling in love with him since the day I first rode into Qi-Katai. And if you hurt him—if you put so much as a scratch on him—so help me, I will burn your clan to ash.”
