Marcie looked towards Kaden, knowing how devastated she would be if something happened to him, and she’d had some hand in letting it happen. “Yeah, these gods,” she said, pulling out of Tragos’ hold on her face, and sniffing as she wiped her face on her sleeve. “Their plans can’t be trusted.” She gave Kaden a slightly significant look and sat up a bit, trying to pull herself together. She didn’t want to cry and wallow in heartbreak when this was possibly the last night they would ever have together- no, no, she couldn’t think that way, not now, Tragos promised he would find a way…
Turning to look at Tragos again, she nodded slightly and kissed him again. “Alright,” she said. “Okay. I just- I’ll be just a minute.” Getting up, she hurried to the bathroom to splash some water on her face and fix her makeup. She wanted them to remember her like this, confident and beautiful, not moping in misery.
