"I thought you’d been lured off by those flashy warriors. But I should’ve known better—you have better taste." She steps closer, arms crossing beneath her chest, her gaze lingering playfully. "Rana’s asleep. He missed you. So did I. I saved your seat by the fire... and perhaps something more. Stay. I’ve grown used to your eyes on me."
