Daria narrowed her eyes and turned to the window. Now he was comparing Alice to her. And finding me wanting. Jealousy surged through her. What was so great about Alice that he couldn’t let her go after five centuries? Perhaps Alice was sweet, gentle, and kind. But so am I.

“Tell me about her.” Daria tried and failed to keep the surly tone to a minimum. It was masochistic to ask, but she wanted to know.

His hands tightened on the steering wheel for a second before loosening his grip. He said nothing at first, just drove in silence. Interminable seconds trickled by.

“She was an earl’s daughter,” he began softly. “A lady of breeding. She never talked out of turn, never said anything unkind.” His brows knitted as though a new contemplation had come to mind. “Alice was educated and trained to make a good political marriage.”

What was he trying to say? That she talked out of turn and said mean things? Not a lady, either. Her parents weren’t nobility of course, but who was these days? Daria glared at him in disbelief. Was he even listening to himself? If looks could kill, he’d have roasted alive already.

As if he read her mind, an amused smile touched Jason’s lips. But his eyes remained focused on the road. “She understood the danger she was in. Her father also had other soldiers. Protecting her was easy,” he stated.

If it was too damn hard dealing with her, then he was welcome to leave. Daria huffed in indignation and turned to stare out the window. She wanted to strangle him.

“You two must have spent a lot of time together. You seem to know her really well,” she remarked bitterly.

“I began protecting her when she was a child.” Jason inhaled a deep breath. “If John hadn’t tried to kill you, I wouldn’t have shown myself.”
