Elia woke from her nap and stretched—but a muscle at the side of her stomach grabbed and she winced, rubbing it as she rolled over.

Reth had been here when she woke up. They had made love, and it was wonderful. Reth was gone because Gahrye had come to visit. Reth had only gone to get some food for them to share for lunch. He wouldn't be away for long.
