Aislin was on her way to her own room when a voice called out to her. “Is everything all right?”

She would have kept going, but she recognized Tomas’s voice. “No, it’s not all right!” she snapped. But when she saw the hurt look on Tomas’s face, she suddenly felt contrite.

“I didn’t mean—” Tomas began.

“No, I’m sorry,” said Aislin. “It’s not your fault. I’m in a bad mood because of something Selene’s friends just did. Those girls are absolutely the worst people I have ever met.”

“I know,” said Tomas. “I discovered that my first day here. If it’s any consolation, I told them so to their faces once.”

Aislin laughed. “I’m glad. Now I can think of all sorts of things I should have said, but I was in too much of a hurry to leave.”

“Isn’t that always the way it goes!” Tomas said with a grin.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you about that book you were reading,” said Aislin. “Did you get to finish it?”

Tomas shook his head. “No, I didn’t, although I wanted to. I was close to the end when Rory grabbed it out of my hand and said that he wanted to read it. When I said I wasn’t finished with it, he threatened to tear the book up, so I let him have it. I didn’t know he could read.”

“He probably can’t,” Aislin told him. “My … servant … found the book in the trash. I can give it to you at supper tonight if you’d like.”

“That would be great! Thanks! It’s good to know that there are some nice people in this kingdom and not everyone is like Rory or those girls.” Tomas gave her the warmest smile she’d seen all day.
