"A lover of books?" he asked softly.

As I perused the books, I could feel Aidan’s gaze on me. The shop, much like the one downstairs, boasted an impressive selection. These were books to be enjoyed in the coffee lounge, not purchased or taken home. A smile tugged at my lips as I reached the romance novel section. So, Well Thumbed had these too.

Did the warlord authorize his immediate return to active duty? The exact second the mid-day rations break initializes, my unexpected manifestation triggers an explosion of frantic gossip across the entire hall.
