Capítulo 276: Missing You

~ ZEV ~ 

The walk had taken more out of him than he expected. Not wanting Allory to change his mind, Zev stayed on his feet, ate some of the dried beef, and made small talk with the male. But soon he became light-headed and to make an excuse to lay down, suggested he build the fire early. Allory watched him closely, but encouraged him to go ahead.

Sighing with relief, and only wincing when he had his back to the healer, Zev got down on the stone next to the fire pit and took his time building and lighting the fire, pleased when it was crackling merrily.

He hadn't realized he was feeling chilled, until the warmth of the flames washed over him. But then all he wanted to do was sink into the furs, pull them over his head, and sleep.
