Heart of Danger
“I took the mini-comp into Danyat’s caravan, away from interested ears. Now I understood how Vima felt when she fell in love with Jov I couldn’t imagine how she’d managed to give him up. Did Silvern and Paz feel this same excitement in the blood, a fizzing through the whole body, joy bubbling up from somewhere under the ribs?
Ivor had spoken to me only once before on the mini-comp. He had kept his voice low, and it had disturbed me in a way that was beyond anything I’d felt before. Disturbed? No.... It thrilled me. It thrilled me right into my blood and my bones.

‘What’s that for?’ Ivor asked. ‘D’you have to go?’ ‘No,’ I said. ‘Don’t know what that was for. Some random appointment. Don’t worry about it.’ Two minutes later, Silvern’s icon appeared on the screen. And that’s when the nine o’clock memory rushed back.MoreLess
