Summary
Nott whispers, “I think I’m a very good monster.”
Caleb rolls over. His eyes are human-dull in the dark, the blue just catching the edge of moonlight filtering in through the window. He touches his forehead to hers. They breathe. Not long and slow—quick, a little frantic.
The warmth blooms between her ribs. She names it magic, despite knowing the ember-sting of arcana these days.
She sees Caleb’s throat work as he swallows. He whispers, “that makes two of us, Nott the Brave.”
(Veth is a monster and a mother. Nott is only one of those things).
