The League of Illusion: Destiny
“Drea Blairwood, he was told, was her name. It was difficult not to notice her. Like a magnet, his gaze automatically tracked from across the village square. Of course, he had to make sure she didn’t notice him noticing her. He was not a good man for her, but still the heart wanted what it couldn’t have.
He’d first seen her only days after arriving in the village to find work. She’d come out of one of the houses, her plaited hair swinging. A mangy dog ran up to her, barking, and she crouched... to pet it, scratching it behind the ears and laughing. She’d only been seventeen then, but he couldn’t deny she was the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen. She had a light inside her that he’d been drawn to. And ever since that day, he’d been watching her from afar. Always careful not to make himself known. It wouldn’t do for her to truly know him.
As he talked with Claude, Sebastian watched her out of the corner of his eye. She was milling about near the fruit stands, taking an interest in the melons.MoreLess
