To Catch a Queen
“She was moving quickly, but he had longer legs, so he caught up to her easily and grabbed her elbow. “Just what do you think you’re doing?” he asked.
He got the impression from the look in her eyes that she’d forgotten for a moment his ability to see through magical disguises, but she recovered quickly. “You know exactly what I’m doing.”
“I’m not letting you do it alone.”
“I can move more quickly without you.”
He tilted his head to the side, regarding her skeptically. “Really? I don’t recall sl...owing you down much. I’ve been pretty useful so far, and can you afford to leave a third son behind when going on a quest in fairyland?”
“I never should have told you about that,” she said with a sigh. She resumed walking, but since she didn’t try to ditch him again, he figured that meant she was okay with him joining her.
