“Thank you, Magda,” I say, squeezing her hand. “You’ve been so nice to me. I cannot repay that kindness just yet. But I don’t expect that we have seen the last of each other.”
I swear, for a long moment I see some unnamed, deep emotion in Magda’s eyes. Then she blinks several times, releases my hand, and steps back.
“I hope to see you again. As a midwife, if nothing else.”
Then she gives the oddest little bow and sweeps out of the room, vanishing down the hallway. I look at Hades, trying to guess at his feelings from his expression.
But his face is blank.
He squeezes my shoulders. “Come on. Let’s get you to the car.”
I stand up on shaky legs and he sweeps me off my feet, making me blush. Lying my head down against the warmth of his chest, I listen to his heartbeat as he carries me to the car.
