Immortal Beloved
“I couldn’t stop thinking about Reyn, and the northern raider, and the fact that my door had no lock on it. I wanted to feel my amulet again, to hold it, but somehow I didn’t dare take it from its hiding place.
River tried to question me, gently, but I just wasn’t going to discuss it. My excuses were so lame and transparent that, in the end, she’d left me alone. I mean, logically, it couldn’t have really been Reyn, right? It looked like him, and it would explain his ephemeral familiarity, but it... totally contradicted my attraction to him. And he wasn’t old enough.
I gulped down my herb tea, and River did a small spell to help me sleep, tracing runes on my forehead with her cool fingers. I fell back on my bed, already half asleep, my fingers nervously pressed against my scarf.
The next morning my eyes flew open a minute before my alarm went off. I did a quick scan of my room, as if I expected to see the northern raider there, from four hundred years ago and four thousand miles away.MoreLess
