Luna's pale blue gaze grew frantic when the carriage slowed to a stop, turning to Elio by her side. "What's the matter? Did something go wrong?"
Elio's expression was calm but decisive, "We're stopping for the night. We'll resume the journey tomorrow..."
They had just gotten to the boundary between the North and the East after traveling the entire day. And Luna had been very much prepared to journey the entire night until they got to Cielo.
He barely got all his words out before she was clinging to his arm. "Surely we can take a brief rest and then continue..."
Elio wasn't having it, however, he got down from the carriage and went around to carry his lover out. "Your fever has only just broken. A full night's rest is needed."
