Ellie knew what Sorin wanted for a Christmas present. He’d told her a little while ago. She had intended on buying it for him, but after noticing a few looks between Sidro and Sorin, a few smiles that were slightly different, she thought she’d let Sidro buy him the Tarot deck. Of course, she hadn’t told Sidro this plan. She wasn’t certain how she was going to arrange it, but she got Sidro to agree to go with her to get the deck. Ellie was confident something would come to her when they were shopping.
The trick was getting away without Sorin seeing them go. Not an easy thing to manage! Sorin liked to check on them, say hello and spend time with them. He’d notice if he went looking and couldn’t find them. And if they didn’t answer if he called or texted he’d get worried. Ellie came up with a solution for that, however. She schemed it with one of the other oathbound. They’d ask Sorin for help with some homework, and that would allow Sidro and her to slip off. First chance they had for that they took it!
Once out of Pegasus dorm Ellie had taken Sidro’s hand and ran for it. She didn’t slow until they were through the gates and on the road to Camden, giggling with cheeks red from the chill and eyes dancing with innocent mischief. It was a long walk to Camden, but the company made the distance pass quickly enough. Still, by the time they reached the store even she was shivering.
“Okay, maybe not the brightest idea I’ve ever had!” she said with a rueful chuckle as she quickly shut the shop’s door.
