Chapter 15

Ivar

The next morning, the weather was bright and sunny. Seeing snow in Völkru was rare. Most times, the whole winter season might just be cold, but we wouldn't see a single drop of snow.

All the while I lay on my bed, the only person I could think about was Ragnar. Part of me wanted to go to his room and confront him. I wanted to demand to know what his problem was. One minute, he would be close to me, and the next, he would act all distant. I even imagined what I would say when I got to his room.

But I knew myself too well. Once I got close to him, all the thoughts in my head would fly away.

When I walked into the dining chamber, I didn't see Ragnar. He hadn't come for breakfast.

As I tried to eat and forget about him, he kept appearing in my mind. Every time the door opened, I would raise my head to check if it was Ragnar. I was so nervous, and I felt uncomfortable.
