Shadowstorm (Sorcery And Science book 6)
“He had no intention of scaring Lana off with the multi-day stench of sweat-stained travel clothes. He wasn’t sure she liked him well enough to put up with that.
So it was freshly scrubbed that Everett made his way to the temple terrace. There he found her, sitting at their usual table. He crept up behind her, keeping his steps silent against the wooden planks. A bowl of hot soup sat before her, the aroma of spiced pumpkin wafting up to kiss the frosty air.

It tasted good, but after so long on the road, he would have preferred something a bit more substantial. Like a steak. He snuck a subtle glance at the buffet table.MoreLess
