I finished my breakfast on my own as he left, and then he returned before I could follow him into the library, carrying in a stack of books. “These are for you to read, in your room. I don’t think you’ll want to sit much for the next few days.”

I was glad of the books, but . . . “The windows?” I asked.

“Will still be there when you feel better.” He gestured me toward the stairs to my bedroom. “Which I expect will be momentarily.”

I took the books and sighed. I was in no position to fight him, and if I did, he’d probably just make me talk him into hurting me again.

“Don’t sulk, moth, or I shall take back my comment about your beauty,” he said, giving me a smirk. I rolled my eyes at him on purpose, and trotted down the stairs.

My bedroom’s door was open, and it was suffused with morning light. His magic, probably, so I couldn’t doze, I would be forced to stay up reading, even though I was still tired. I walked into my room with a frown, and then I gasped.

One whole wall of my bedroom now had windows.

From floor to ceiling.

And we were in the sky.

I was trapped between delight at so much daylight and horror at the possibility of us falling.

I set the books down on my bed and crept toward them, going to my knees at the end to creep up and peer over.

“So high!” said the spider-creature, suddenly appearing beside me, with his face plastered to the glass, twice as brave as I was.

“Quite,” I said.

He looked over, all of his eyes blinking at me sequentially. “Do you mind if I look, too?” he asked, and I could see his small, cat-like mouth moving humanly as he spoke, beneath his petite triangular nose, and behind two jutting fangs.

I wanted to tell him yes, but I made myself say, “No,” and pointed. “Just look from over there.”

“Certainly,” Finx agreed.
