Ky nodded in agreement. Although she definitely was already sick of the snow. It was cold. And wet. And heavy. And depressing. “It makes the world feel tired.”

Re: Two Crows Watch from the Gallows Tree (part 8)

“Always.” She flushed, looking up at him with a quick, panicked gaze. She hadn’t meant to let that slip out. “Sometimes. When we’re outside. For a long time. But… a ...
