She felt herself lying down on a warm body. She opened her eyes and saw Luc. He had sung one last note before stopping. “You. That was you?”
“Of course.” He helped her sit up in his lap better, needing to hug her. “Are you okay?”
“It was the most gorgeous voice I'd ever heard. It called to me.” She touched his cheek softly. “How could you sing like that?”
“I sing horribly, worst overling around. I couldn't even sign up for a choir class, I failed the most basic exam of hitting notes.” He laughed next to her ear. “Good thing true love's chorus hid that from you. I think overlings are probably wondering if they should uncover their ears or not.”
“That's . . .but it's just the males,” Melina said in disbelief.
“No, underlings say it is because we have the destiny drum that improves the hearing.” He touched her ear softly. “I told you. True love's chorus is not science, it's magic.”
