Chapter 149

• On the day that Audrey and the supernatural officials had left for the territory boundary, Xavier had stayed back with Brienne. She understood Brienne needed the moral and emotional support, but she couldn't help but feel the distance between she and Xavier lately. They barely had time to talk and converse like they normally would. Most of all, he hadn't tried to be intimate with her again. She felt he had become more unconcerned about that, due to Brienne's presence.
• She particularly felt angry at herself, because she couldn't focus on being worried about Audrey. All the while, she would find herself walking towards the balcony where Xavier and Brienne sat, stealing glances and trying to reassure herself that nothing more was happening between the two.
• Now that she was looking at the tulips he had brought her this morning, she couldn't help but reassure herself that all was fine. Atleast, that was one gesture he hadn't stopped making since Brienne showed up at the palace.
