Whisper of Magic
“Would you like to visit the mill?” Erran inquired after they’d taken a single room under an assumed name at the inn.
Celeste had not seen the point in wasting Ashford’s money in taking two rooms when she didn’t wish to sleep alone. She would pretend she was a lady once she returned to the city, but for now . . . She wanted Erran’s arms and reassuring presence for one night more, before she had to learn to be strong again.
She was surprised by his question. “We are allowed to visit?”
“The town i...s proud of their industry. They don’t know who we are. A little reconnaissance mission might be enlightening. But I’ll understand perfectly if you’d prefer to rest. It’s been a long day.”
Even after a day’s travel, Erran looked every inch the gentleman and more. His square jaw, high forehead, and strong cheekbones depicted a man of intelligence and character. His wide shoulders and straight stance held authority. And his tailored coat and expensive linen . . .
