A new set of goose bu under his breath about tiht Aren steps out of a fissure, and ood, actually He’s wearing an expensive suit, probably stolen fro his butt and his jacket all but begs for hands to slide underneath it, over his fir ataze lowers to my chest, to s and peep-toed heels I shift I rarely ever wear dresses--I never knohen Court fae will pop into my life and ask me to read the shadows--and I feel vulnerable and exposed

He rises fro the nalkinshoaze travels over ain This time, it’s almost as if he expects to find an open wound "You’re okay?"

"Yeah," I answer, frowning Lorn ate a few miles north of the tor’um’s home A rebel named Kian escorted me there, then handed me an anchor-stone He left me with Lorn I assumed that was because he was supposed to fissure ?
