“Time after time, Grange received comments on his appearance, the paleness of his skin and his light hair, so foreign to the people who lived in the northern land, and whose complexions seemed to Grange to gradually grow ever darker as the harvesting crew moved north. Grange felt satisfied with letting Ariana virtually run his life for him. There was some inexplicable air about her that gave her mastery over him. She was relatively kind, and seemed to have a growing sense of affection for ...him as they traveled and talked, but she never displayed any remote inclination to accept him as her lover, despite what all the other travelers in their group thought – and Grange never felt compelled to try anything after their first night together.
