I didn’t know how long I was out, but when I came to, the first thing I felt was a humming, pulsating sensation that vibrated up my chin and into my right cheek. The more I focused on it, the more it seemed to be coming from beneath me. I opened my eyes and immediately took in the blurry view through a window which was covered in rain drops. When I glanced down, I noticed the rich black leather upholstery of a car door. My head was apparently propped against the side panel.

“I think Daenerys Targaryen will take the throne.” It was Betta’s voice. She sounded so matter-of-fact, casual even, that I figured even though I didn’t know where I currently was, I had nothing to worry about. “I mean, she’s got dragons, right?”

“You are correct,” Sinjin responded, sounding slightly amused. I rolled my head in his direction and found him behind the wheel of what looked like a sports car. The black upholstery continued throughout the interior, contrasted by a bright red stripe that ran horizontally through the passenger’s and driver’s doors, as well as the middle console and the glove box. I was sitting in the passenger seat.

As soon as I recognized Sinjin, an onslaught of conflicting feelings attacked me all at the same time. First, intense relief and euphoria, followed by the familiar sense of magnetic attraction I always had towards the incorrigible man. But those happy emotions were about to become tarnished by something else, something angry and regretful.

Why didn’t he come for me sooner? Why did he wait so long? I asked myself as visions of the horror I’d been enduring over the last few weeks returned to torture me anew. Did I rank so far down Sinjin’s and my sister’s list of priorities that he waited a full three weeks to come for me?

“Right!” Betta continued. Then, I heard the sounds of rustling coming from what I imagined was a bag of chips or something. “So from, like, a logical standpoint, it naturally follows that Daenerys would be the most powerful because no one else has dragons, right?”

“So one would naturally assume,” Sinjin answered as he downshifted and took a sharp turn quickly. The car hugged the road and merely purred, like it was eager to take the hairpin turns. And, given Sinjin’s penchant for fast vehicles, it probably was.

“Right! And don’t forget that Daenerys also has that huge army too,” Betta added. She was sitting in the back middle seat, but leaning forward, stretching her neck between us. It sounded like she was also munching on chips or crackers or something else crunchy.

“I have not forgotten,” Sinjin said with a quick smile as he eyed the road ahead of him.

“I think I’ve figured it out,” Betta asserted, between mouthfuls.

“I must admit, my dear, that I find it quite bizarre that you were able to enjoy the luxury of cable television in Azkaban Prison,” Sinjin said with a smirk.

“Yep,” Betta responded with a few nods.
