The words on the page swam in front of Asa’s eyes. He’d already forgotten the name of the book. He flipped it over and stared at the battered cover and a frantic-eyed girl, who stood with her hand in the air as though to ward off the on-coming car. Headlights drenched her in yellow. Isaac had given him the book. Probably noticing how Asa was about to jump out of his skin, and he’d taken it because he didn’t want to let on that he’d sensed something wrong. The same sick rush of vertigo he’d felt when he was a kid. But he’d told himself he couldn’t possibly sense something like that. He wasn’t a fortune-teller like Camiel. He had to be cracking up. Too much worry about Zev catching onto him or Solomon swooping out of the dark to break his neck.

Maybe it was just the pressure getting to him.

A half hour earlier, he’d gotten his chess set out, but the pieces had blurred, and he’d broken out in a prickly sweat. Concentration shot, he’d put the set away and glanced at Isaac. The kid had been lying with his leg over his bent knee, bobbing a foot as he’d turned a page of his book. Why couldn’t Asa be like Isaac?

But maybe he was. Maybe Isaac sensed when something was wrong with his fated too.

Asa had licked his lips. He’d wondered if he should ask? But why. What could he do? And his feeling had been that Zev was hurt, but… not exactly hurt. No matter what, though, it wasn’t Asa’s business. He had to make up his mind. Calling Zev “my sweet” just dug him in deeper. He had to keep his distance, but…

Something had happened. Something was wrong.

After those thoughts had spun in his head for a while, he’d finally jumped off his bed at the same time an enforcer opened the door and looked in. “Everyone stays in their room, please.”

Then he’d left, and Asa had stared at the empty space in shock. That’s when Isaac had stretched out the book to him. “It’s pretty good,” he’d said.

So Asa had tried to read it. But now he dropped it on his bed, got up again, and headed for the door.

Before he got more than a few feet, Isaac yanked him back, and he spun with a glare. “What are you doing?”

“What are you doing? We’re supposed to stay in our rooms.”

“I need to check on Zev.”

He might have swayed, because Isaac reached for him.

“The king? You have to check on him?”

Why not him? You’re just a servant for one thing. A nobody.

He took a deep breath and shrugged Isaac’s hand away. “Well, something’s going on. I need to know.”

Which wasn’t what he’d just said he needed to do, and Isaac pulled at the neck of his sweater with a frown. “Nobody’s after us.”

“You don’t know that. Maybe they’ll want to take out the whole place. No witnesses.”

He clung to that because it made sense, and it was a real possibility.
