Raz watched as Del walked from the room, a little shock shimmering in his nerves.

She’d mentioned going away and he’d balked. His feet had removed him from her even as his hands ached to keep touching her.

He was torn. He wanted her, but everything was moving fast and more intensely than he’d anticipated.

“When would you and your father want to tour the Ship?” asked Ruis loudly.

Raz turned smoothly to face the man. “How about Midweek, MidEveningBell. That’s when we work on the models.”

“Ship, did you make the appointment?” Captain Elder asked.

“Yes. We will see you then,” Ship said.

Raz and the Captain bowed farewell at the same time. Raz noticed the man’s manner was cooler toward him now that Del wasn’t present.

“Merry meet,” Raz said.

The Captain’s eyes warmed a little. “And merry part,” he gave the traditional response.

“And merry meet again,” Raz said. He kept his spine and shoulders straight. He was the lower one in status here, but he wouldn’t fawn, even though the Ship and the Captain impressed him. The Captain nodded and turned in the opposite direction, toward what Raz deduced was his own rooms, and Raz could only wonder what they looked like. A curiosity that might not be satisfied without Del’s—or his father’s—presence.

Raz walked through the Ship to the bay door through which he and Del and her Fam had entered. He missed Del’s hand in his. To Raz’s surprise, his glider had been brought into the Ship.

Absently, he told Cherry to return home, then shifted in his seat. He was uncomfortable with himself and his reaction to Del.

She’d put on a little mask. Had dropped one over her features after he’d instinctively stepped away.

He didn’t like that.

He’d hurt her, and he liked that even less.

But he had been completely honest and open . . . even as he was hurting her. A grumble escaped him and he tunneled his fingers through his hair. They’d been open and honest, then he’d hurt her and she’d had to cover her feelings.

Yes, their affair was getting intense. Far more intense than anticipated.

Then she’d mentioned the trail, and his stomach had clenched. She hadn’t spoken of leaving Druida City for a while, and though he didn’t want her to go, it was also a reason why he could be so honest with her. Because the time of the affair was limited.

He was torn about that, too.

She’d said she couldn’t live in Druida City and he knew that to be true. The restrictions on her, the expectations for the single head of a noble household, would stifle her, erode what he loved—liked—best about her.

His career was in the city. That was the only way he could become what he wanted—a famous actor whom people would pay to see, whom they’d talk about. Who would continue to work at what he did best, at what fulfilled him most.

As being on the trail fulfilled Del.

He snarled at the thought. Too damn conflicted.
