Chapter 19

"Friends? Which friends? Why do you want to introduce me to them?" I said in a rush because I really wanted to go back home so I could put Crista's mind at ease since she would be worried sick right now.

The man pulled out the chair next to me and sat on it before grabbing the jug, pouring water from it into another cup. "You'll meet them soon and I want to introduce you to them just because."

His voice was deep, warm and inviting and it made nerves dance up my spine. I really, really liked it but I didn't like that answer because I wanted to know why he wanted to introduce me to his friend. He had the upper hand in this situation though because he could ensure that I got back home safely. If I went back to The Northern Kingdom on my own, I could get killed by a wild animal or kidnapped again. Neither of those were favourable.
