“And if they have no honor, can they still get honor later?”
His eyes moved to the side.
“Yes,” he said.
“Then it’s always better to be alive because you can do honorable things, right?”
Kal smiled and my panties melted.
“You make an interesting point,” he said.
An interesting point didn’t mean he agreed with me.
What did I expect? For him to immediately change how he thought just because I made a good point?
Change took time. Unfortunately. And I didn’t have a whole lot left.
Kal looked at me earnestly. The look made my knees shake.
“Tell me, are all human females so clever as you?” he said.
“I’m not very clever,” I said. “I’m about average.”
Or maybe even a little below average. I vowed never to show him my grade point average.
“I disagree,” Kal said, lifting my chin with his finger. “I think you are a very special woman indeed.”
Those words.
From this male.
This close.
With that body…
Gulp.
Things felt so different between us. Closer. More intimate.
Why was that?
Because I knew about one of his deepest secrets. His deceased wife.
I couldn’t imagine the pain and suffering he must have felt at losing her. I’d never lost someone that close to me before. I lost my parents and brother when I was very young but I was just a baby. Still, I thought of them from time to time. My birthdays mostly. I hoped they were happy and safe wherever they were now.
Me knowing about his wife wasn’t the only thing that was different though, was it?
We were in a tiny room at the top of the tallest tower.
Alone.
And the hungry look in his eye…
It made me want to see if there was more behind it.
“Don’t you want to be at your birthday party?” I said.
“They won’t notice I’m gone,” he said, his eyes focused on mine.
