Chapter 69

Their days took on a rhythm as they navigated courting each other. Neither of them said the three words that knocked at Vajra’s teeth every moment he was with her. The words were getting harder to keep back, he wanted her to know his feelings but didn’t want to force hers. He saw her when her schedule permitted and then went back to the townhouse. On days when she didn’t have time to see him, he focused on the stream of lessons coming from the High King about what it would mean if he ever stood as her consort.

One day he was with her, and they were walking in the gardens, she was quiet, more so than usual, not responding to his attempts at conversation until she turned to him with sharp, scared eyes and said the first words he’d heard from her since he’d arrived.
