Chapter 27

Being in Nye's element made me notice things about him.

I'm starting to think it's his love language, and being a woman fascinated by the written word made me gush. Lately, he's been reading romance stories. I could tell by the title.

"Yes, but this intrigues me. Humans have odd ways of," he pauses, "Well, they call it love." I pull my knees to my chest, looking at Aneth in wonder, "Don't dragons feel love?"
