Re: The Order Arrives
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she was moving toward him. Kneeling beside him. She could hear a low, miserable sound, as if someone was dying, but it didn't occur to her that it could be her own grief, drowning out the sound of the flames.
Her Arthur... Her love...
Her baby brother... Her Gideon...
She felt a hand on her shoulder, but couldn't even lift her head from Arthur's chest, and her hand closed tightly around a handful of his pyjamas.
