Chapter 591: Show Your Light

LERRIN

She turned her head and her eyes shone with unshed tears. Immediately Lerrin's heart began to pound. What had happened? Why was she sad? Was she changing her mind about going with him if he was banished?

He started to turn, but the pain caught in his shoulder and he stopped.

"Don't move," she whispered, then pushed to her feet and trotted over to the door to make sure it was closed properly, before returning to the pile of blankets she'd made and laying the new ones out. "I think you should lay down," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Lerrin frowned. "I want to keep talking to you. I'm worried if I lay down I'll fall asleep."

"That might be for the best for you," she said with a firm glance at him. "But no, I think you should lay down because I want to lay with you and if you do fall asleep I won't have to move you and possibly hurt you further."
