Chapter 240

• Sabine POV
• We’re alone now mostly. A few of his warriors linger at a distance, far enough away to give us the illusion of privacy, close enough to remind me I’m never truly alone here.
• Maurice carries me through the woods slowly, deliberately, as if I might shatter if he moves too fast. There’s no need for such care. I feel safe in his arms. Completely. Even if he were running at a hundred miles an hour, I don’t think I’d be afraid.
