He smiled a little wider. “All right, I’ll stop. Venison wine isn’t as miraculous as people say. You can try it if you want, but it doesn’t taste very good.”

Elowen looked at him suspiciously. “Really?”

Cassian nodded. “Really.”

That was enough to reassure her.

“Eat,” he said, handing her another slice of roasted venison.

The meat was done perfectly-crisp on the outside, juicy and pink within. The moment she tasted it, Elowen’s eyes curved with pleasure, and all thoughts of venison wine disappeared.

After dinner, Warren took his leave.

Elowen started to walk him out. “Lieutenant, let me see you-”

“Ella.” Cassian’s voice dropped behind her.

She turned at once. “What’s wrong?”

“I think I’m drunk.”

From the corner of the room, Warren nearly choked.

His Grace is known for holding his liquor. He can finish a whole bottle without even turning red, let alone get drunk after just a few drinks. Drunk? No way.

Elowen looked worried. She reached up and touched Cassian’s forehead. “Maybe it’s the wine. Are you dizzy? Does anything hurt?”

Warren quietly withdrew his earlier opinion and wisely kept his mouth shut.

Cassian slowly shook his head.

Elowen turned to Warren with an apologetic smile. “Sorry, but His Grace isn’t feeling well. Let Bran see you out. Be careful on your way home.”

Warren looked from Elowen to Cassian, then back again. “Yes, Your Grace.”

Once she made sure Warren was gone, Elowen turned back to Cassian, her voice soft. “Should I have someone bring you some broth?”

Cassian shook his head. “No need to trouble them.”

Elowen thought for a moment. “Then I’ll make it for you?”

“It’s late. Don’t bother.”

She frowned. “But you’re drunk. I don’t want you feeling sick.”

He reached out and caught her sleeve. “If I lie down for a while, I’ll be fine. Will you come with me?”

Elowen nodded. “All right. Let’s head back.”

She turned to leave, but Cassian caught her by the wrist.

Elowen looked at him, puzzled. “What now?”

“My head’s spinning,” Cassian said. “I can’t quite keep my balance. Ella, give me your hand.”

“I almost forgot you were drunk.” Elowen held out her hand without hesitation.

“Didn’t you say last month that you wanted to read The Chronicle of Kingdoms?” he asked.

Elowen tried to remember. “Maybe… why?”

His eyes sparkled with anticipation. “Why don’t we read it tonight?”

She frowned and teased him lightly. “Aren’t you drunk? Can you even read?”

He looked at her with suspicious intensity. “But I really want to, Ella. Please?”

How am I supposed to say no?

Elowen gave in and told Anson to fetch the book from Cassian’s study.

Cassian followed her out, quite satisfied with himself.

The bathwater had already been prepared, and Elowen used a damp cloth to wipe his face. Cassian was tall and impossible to ignore, and the whole time he simply watched her, never looking away.

She laughed. “Why are you staring at me?”

“Because you’re beautiful,” he said, completely sincere.

She smiled. “You’re handsome too.”

He leaned a little closer and lowered his voice. “Really?”

She dipped the cloth into the water again, smiling to herself. “Really.”

He asked, “More handsome than Alaric?”

“You, obviously,” she said at once. Alaric couldn’t compare.

Cassian kept going. “More handsome than Kaelan?”

She rolled her eyes. “Still you.”

He gave her a mischievous look. “What about Doctor Dray?”

She looked at him. “Why are you comparing yourself to Doctor Dray?”
