For the first time in hours, Beren is content and quiet. I sigh and snuggle into their arms. I start out facing Cal. His arms wrap around me and pull me in close.

I turn to look at her. She is pouting and Markus has a smirk on his face. I know that he has something to do withs Rose isdanne urs. But I can’t be mad at him as Benia’s stomach let’s cut a growl. “Tal’s get you fed Rosebud,” I say with a small din
