Explanation

Rani Karden

She had ruined my mood with one sentence. I hated her for it. I was falling for her; I knew I was. I had vowed I wouldn't do that. I had vowed I wouldn't allow kindness towards Minori to soften my heart. And then she had gone ahead and saved Minori's life, and I thought it was done at great risk to herself. She had downplayed it, but I thought she was lying.

I remembered the way she had dived into the water, and from such a great height. I had shoved my hand in my mouth in fear, but it was stunning to watch. She had entered the water cleanly, and then I didn't see her and I was so afraid she hadn't come up.

How could someone that courageous do what she did just for money? How could someone who seemed so kind take children from their warm beds?

Perhaps she was a good actress. She acted kind. She acted like she cared about me, but maybe every cruise she picked out someone to take to her bed.

I began working myself into a real snit, pacing back and forth in the cabin. And I was effectively locked in; if I started to lose it, there wasn't even anyone here to help. There wasn't anyone to talk to. I couldn't run away. I couldn't hide from any of this.

I didn't think she was acting, but nothing else added up. She couldn't be how she appeared and do what she did.

But she had saved Minori, and she had truly seemed to care. It wasn't done like someone protecting an investment. It was done as someone protecting a child, protecting a friend. She hadn't been aloof afterwards. She had been kind and protective afterwards.

And while I didn't expect to ever use what she was teaching me, she was teaching me. She was spending far, far too much time on me if all she wanted was someone to bed, especially as she had to know I wasn't going to let her. No matter how much I wanted her long legs wrapped around me, I wasn't going to let her.

Why did she have to be so stunning? Her skin was rough, chapped by the sea and the wind, but her lips were soft and inviting, her arms were warm, and she was so amazingly strong.

She was kind to me. She was kind to Minori. She had helped me understand how to pay the price of my magic in a fashion that may actually let me have an agreeable life with other people. I had reconciled with Glora, which I had never imagined could happen, and I was sure Sorri's influence had been at play. I would have paid any amount of money asked for that. It was going to cost my brother quite a lot, but he could afford it, I thought. And my ten crown bond was nothing compared to what I had gained.

I paced around the cabin, growing increasingly confused.

I didn't know what to do.
