    "After learning more about your character and knowing your father, I will confidently say this—that in the many storms that faced your father throughout your lives, you were his oak tree, hollow or empty you may have been, you graced him with a gentle compassion that very well saved his life during those dark years.

    Summary

    “Wait!” Elain clambered to her feet, jumping off the bed. He looked at her expectedly, dagger in one hand and a handful of hair in the other. What was there to say? That she had always secretly adored his hair just the way it was? That he couldn’t possibly cut it before she even had the chance to run her fingers through it? “Let me do it,” she said.

    While on the run in the Continent, Elain and Lucien must discuss what has remained unspoken after a frightening incident.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A nervous servant brings her to Lucien’s room, explaining that he is in the mortal lands. She drops the books and maps on his desk as she walks around the room, the reminder of his very essence entangling in all of her senses, leaving her disoriented. She trailed a hand up the soft sheets of his bed, then against the spines of his books stacked song the shelves that lined nearly every wall, until it led her back to the desk.

    Curiosity, hungrier and more contentious than ever before, pooled in her stomach. Was it wrong to look? He was her mate after all.
