Chapter 251 Lessons. Then His Teasing

A lesson that had lasted nearly an hour was finally over. When Elowen closed the book, her palms were

damp.

She and Sylvia stood together, both red faced, and thanked Cecilia formally.

Elowen drew in a steadying breath and forced her voice to stay composed. “Thank you for today, Cecilia. Please rest. If you’re missing anything you need, tell Cora.”

Cecilia answered respectfully. “Of course. If you ever have questions later, you can ask me anytime.”

Elowen managed a tiny, almost inaudible, “Mm.”

By early evening, Cassian finally returned to the estate.

He looked like he had been out all day. Mud flecked the hem of his outer coat. Elowen stayed in the room and helped him change into a clean one.

They were close enough that she could catch a faint trace of cool air clinging to him.

Cassian lowered his gaze, watching Elowen as she focused on untying his belt. With clear amusement, he asked, “Cecilia came by today, Ella, how did it go? Did you learn anything?”

Elowen had spent the afternoon forcing herself back to normal. The second he asked, the images and Cecilia’s words slammed back into her head.

Her face flared red all at once, the color spreading down her neck.

“A little,” she mumbled, barely louder than a whisper.

Cassian lifted one eyebrow, unhurried, and pressed, “Oh yeah? What did she teach you?”

There was no way Elowen could repeat any of it out loud. She fumbled for a moment, then locked onto the muddy coat in her arms and shoved the conversation somewhere else. “Where did you even go today? How did you get this dirty?”

Cassian’s gaze rested on her flushed face for a beat, then he let her take the exit. “I went outside the city to see someone, then I handled a few things. The ground was wet, and I got splashed.”

“Oh. Then I’ll take it out and have it washed.” Elowen clutched his outer coat and turned as if she could escape the room with it.

Cassian caught her wrist. “Wait, Ella.”

His eyes dropped to her red cheeks, and he smiled. “If you’re already this shy, what are you going to do when we get to the hot springs?”

Elowen froze.

Before today, she would have missed it. After what Cecilia had taught, and after hearing Cassian say that, she understood all at once.

“We’re going to the hot springs, so we have to…?”

She stopped mid sentence, the rest hanging in the air.

Neither of them needed her to finish.
