Cali seemed defensive after that. She shut down the conversation rather abruptly. Could Cali have affection for me? She was so powerful, exuding independence. Why would she care for me in such a way?

Jack you are so clueless
My eyes scanned the opposite seat of the carriage. Cali had a soured expression as she stared out the window. Maybe travel did not agree with her. She looked as though she decidedly did not want to glance in my direction.

Jack is a wonderful name sir
"Let's talk about your place around here," King Caderyn spouted off, pacing behind me. "Not that long ago, you were just a misfit child that my daughter and her best friend adopted out of pity as some kind of pet. Jack. It's a perfect name for a yapping puppy."
