“You look beautiful.”

“Well, some lipstick and blush would help.” She shifted her gaze, met Malory’s in the mirror. “He didn’t beat me.”

“No, he sure as hell didn’t.”

“I got somewhere. I don’t know exactly where, but I did something right today, took some step, and it’s got him worried.”

She turned around. “I’m not going to lose. Whatever it takes, I’m not going to lose.”

IN the high tower of Warrior’s Peak, Rowena mixed a potion in a silver cup. However troubled her mind, her hands were quick and sure. “You’ll need to drink all of this.”

“I’d rather a whiskey.”

“You’ll have one after.” She glanced over to where Pitte stood, scowling out the window. He was stripped to the waist, and the gouges on his side were red and raw in the light.

“Once you’ve taken the potion, I should be able to treat the wound, and draw the poison out. Even with this, you’ll be tender for a few days.”

“And so will he. More than tender, I’d say. More of his blood spilled than mine. She wouldn’t run,” he recounted. “She stayed and fought.”

“And I thank all the fates for it.” She stepped over, held out the cup. “Don’t frown at it. Drink it, Pitte, all down, and you’ll not only have whiskey, but I’ll see that there’s apple pie for dessert.”

He had a weakness for apple pie, and for the look in his lover’s eyes. So he took the cup, tossed back the contents. “Damnation, Rowena, can you make it any more foul?”

“Sit now.” She opened her hand, held out a thick glass. “And drink your whiskey.”
