Rodland immediately turned to Caleb. “I think I did very well. You couldn’t have done better. You have to admit she was distracted.”

“You’re a regular Scheherazade,” Caleb said caustically. “But you did a decent job.”

“Scheherazade.” Rodland made a face. “I’ve heard she was a magnificent storyteller, but I prefer a more manly description of my own talents. Though she was supposed to be very persuasive, and I’ve always considered my own skill in that arena to be extraordinary.”

“I’ll keep it in mind.” Caleb threw the rest of his coffee into the fire. “When you tell me about Kilgoray. Why did you go there?”

Rodland slowly shook his head. “You’ll have to get that from Jane. That’s why I warned her you were on speaker. She made me promise that I wouldn’t tell anyone about our trip there.” He added, “Besides, why should you be curious? She told me that you’d visited there with her before.”

“The only thing that meant for either of us was a pleasant day away from the Run. But why take you there? And why at this particular time?”

“I made a promise. Ask her.”

Caleb’s lips tightened. “I will. Count on it. Tomorrow.”

“Then am I off the hook?”

“For the time being. Go to sleep.” He was looking into the fire again. “Dawn will come soon enough.”
