“My vision was cloudy. Awkwardly I rubbed my eyes, and tried to pay attention. I was sitting in a chair by Rowan's kitchen table. Oh, I was an ungracious sod--I'd cried myself to a standstill, and as soon as I'd finished, begun pushing him away. He'd let me go easily, hoisted me up to sit here. My head was full of grey cotton wool. "Dinner?" He was standing by the sink, running water into a pan. He shot me an amused glance over one shoulder. "Food. Evening meal. You Geordies sometimes call it yo...ur tea, God knows why." "Oh. No, but..." "This'll take about a half an hour to make. If I were you I'd go and have a bath. There's loads of hot water." Maybe I was still unconscious on his kitchen floor. Or maybe Maric's thugs had got me after all, and I'd died on the Bigg Market cobbles unmourned. I hauled myself onto my feet. "Rowan... Thanks, but I can't stay. I can't just..." Can't just go off for a nice bath before dinner, like I lived here, like you'd welcomed me home after a tough day at work.MoreLessRead More Read Less
