I have never felt like this. Everything about this girl fascinates me. Watching her now, singing and cooking, she’s so soft, not the brave girl who had risked herself to save people she thought only part of a story. When she got caught up in the Sidhe’s magic and tried to get me to go with her, I panicked. Me, Sir Galahad, notorious for my calm disposition and ability to remain clearheaded in battles, had fallen under her spell and reacted without thinking. I don’t regret kissing her; I just wish our first hadn’t been to save her life. Yet I am conflicted—why does my connection to Aliana want to overshadow my oath and loyalty to my king? I have always been able to set aside my desire for a woman of my own...before.

~Galahad

“I WAS JUST MAKING BREAKFAST,” Aliana said, pulling out more eggs. “I’m not sure when everyone will be up, but I know y’all will want breakfast.”

“Why are you awake so early, Aliana? We went to sleep but a few hours ago and the sun has not yet started to rise.”

She shrugged. “I guess I’m just still trying to process everything.” Not a total lie.

“Then what can I do to help?” he asked again.

“Um…” Looking around, she spotted the potatoes that still needed to be cut. “I’m guessing you’re pretty handy with a blade, so you can cut the veg for the home fries.”

She grabbed a knife and showed him how she wanted the potatoes and peppers cut. She grabbed more eggs, and they worked shoulder to shoulder.

“What are all these foods?” Galahad motioned to the platters and bowls around them.

“I’m making us a nice, Southern breakfast: bacon, eggs, home fries, biscuits, pancakes, and grits.”

“Is this something you would make with your parents back at home?”

Aliana’s lips pulled into a frown. “Sometimes, on long weekends or a special occasion, but normally I just have a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It’s a really good cereal, though we can’t get it here,” she explained when he wrinkled his forehead. “If we get back to my home in the States, I’ll let you try some.”

“Do you not miss being at home? You said last night that you have been here for a while.”

“I haven’t really been home much the last couple of years. There’s always another place I want to go.” She shrugged, hoping he wouldn’t pick up on the slight tremor in her voice.

“So, you haven’t been home since your parents died,” he stated, almost to himself.

“I traveled a lot before…” She was trying to change the subject.

“So you’ve been traveling alone?” he asked carefully enough that Aliana wondered if he was thinking of their conversation in Avalon.

Her frown faded. “My friend Wade joins me when he can, but mostly I travel for my art, so it’s better that I’m on my own.”

“You mentioned him earlier. Who is Wade?” Galahad set his knife down and turned toward Aliana with that same intensity he’d had earlier.

“Wade’s one of my oldest friends, the closest thing I’ve ever had to a brother.
