Finding an excuse to leave the bridge moments after taking up position in a battle formation was not easy. Especially for someone as uncomfortable with lying as Delphyne. Though she was more practiced with it now than she used to be. She’d spent time undercover with the Byers Clan, living a lie, but she was never comfortable with it.

“Sir,” she said, rising from her station. “Requesting permission to leave the bridge.”

Bayne’s head snapped around so fast he might have snapped his neck. His face flashed with surprise, not anger. Before he could question why, she answered.

She stepped close to Bayne so she could whisper and remain unheard by the rest of the bridge. “I need to speak with…someone. Before this battle. Just in case it’s…” She looked at her hands. “In case I don’t get another chance.”

Surprisingly, Bayne took Delphyne’s hands in his. A gentle gesture meant to soothe her. It would have, had she been genuine. But the dishonesty only fueled an anxiety inside her that hurt to the touch.

“Go,” Bayne said. “But be quick.”

She nodded, but couldn’t bear to look Bayne in the eye.
