Her old route to the palace hadn’t changed a bit, although tonight Alyx made the journey on foot rather than horseback. Her anticipation grew with every step, her telepathic magic making it easy for her to avoid the Bluecoats on patrol and slip into Cayr’s bedroom window without being seen.

The prince was in his sitting room, reading by the light of his fire, completely absorbed in the book in his lap. Delight bubbled up in her as she regarded him, temporarily replacing the shock and anger that still lingered from her fight with her father.

“Good to know you still leave your bedroom window unlocked.”

He looked up, the astonishment on his handsome features so strong it made her laugh. “Alyx?”

“It’s me.”

Cayr jumped to his feet and crossed the space between them to throw his arms around her. She chuckled at his enthusiasm, returning his bear hug. “It’s so good to see you,” she murmured against his shoulder. “I missed you.”

“Oh Alyx, you have no idea.” They rocked back and forth for a long moment, neither wanting to let go.

Eventually they parted and she beamed up at him. “I can’t tell you how good it is to see your face.”

“You look different,” he murmured. “I can’t quite pin it down, but you really look different. You look great.”

“So do you.” And he did. His features had changed subtly, reflecting those of a young man rather than a boy. His golden curls were neatly cut for once, enhancing his looks. A moment later they both broke into sheepish chuckles as they realised they were staring at each other.

“You’re back more quickly than I expected,” he said, then frowned a little. “Don’t tell me you came through the disputed area rather than by ship?”

“Neither. We... wait, you’re aware of Casovar’s summons and my father isn’t?” Alyx stepped away, shaking her head. “It’s like the world has turned upside down since I left.”

“It’s not as odd as you make it sound. My father approved the summons, and I spend most of my time with him these days.” Cayr said. “Things have happened while you were away, but no doubt you’ll be meeting with the lord-mage in the morning and he can explain.”

Alyx sighed, accepting the logic in his words. “You’re right. I am glad to be home. I missed you.”

“I missed you. It’s hard not having my best friend around. How are you?”

“I’m okay,” she said honestly. “This year wasn’t as bad as the first. I didn’t expect to be back so soon, though.”

“I assume Dawn and Finn came with you?”

“And Tarrick, too.”

“What about Dash?” Cayr asked eagerly. “My life has been utterly boring since he left. Father has been thrilled that the entire source of frivolity and pranks in my life has been away.”

She smiled automatically, but Dashan’s name caused her to wonder where he was—he’d been so angry earlier. She hoped he was okay, then shook herself in frustration for dwelling on it. She was with Cayr, and she had missed him. Her smile grew wide and genuine.
