Chapter 40. Loving Durwin

It was late in the afternoon, it was our fourth day there. I could see that Ranulf was getting agitated, I could feel that he was constantly waiting for something or someone.

"Ran... do you want to go back? I'm sure I'll be just fine, all of us would be good..."

"No, we're staying, Maven said... shit!"

"Maven said what?" Durwin asked sitting up resting his beautiful muscled backside on the wood panel headboard.

I was walking closer to the bed then sitting beside Durwin, while Ranulf was clenching his jaw. He was blurting out something which we were not supposed to know.

But why? He said it was about me? Why can't I know? Wait, unless it's also about Durwin. Because he didn't know about it either. No...

Durwin and I were looking at each other knowingly, then we both looked at Ranulf. We knew... we understand why he couldn't tell both of us.

Durwin was quick to take me into his arms, knowing that I would crumble.
