Worry seized me, but not for myself… I worried for Rowan.
I had never known my brother to do things in half measures. He was either all in or all out, which was why it initially surprised me when I watched him with Nyssa. It was clear how much he wanted her, but he denied himself so much.
Now that he had decided to have her for real… I feared for his reaction.
I knew the odds of Nyssa joining us for dinner were low so I asked Leah to make sure she was in her room. I'd hoped to have a conversation with her, to try and explain things from Rowan's point of view. I was not expecting for Leah to come to us with such shocking news.
Nyssa's room was made to perfection.
The bed was untouched and so were the papers on her desk that she had carried the last time she helped me out at work. The room looked like it had not been used in a while but what stopped me short was the closet.
