"We will return to Noctvaris with them tomorrow," Edmund said as he walked toward Primrose, who was standing by the window.
He had asked Callen to give them some privacy, leaving only the two of them in the quiet hallway. When he stopped beside her, he followed her gaze and looked down at the people playing in the snow below.
"Tomorrow?" Primrose said softly. "I didn't expect us to leave so soon."
So much had happened over the past few days that she barely had time to enjoy being back in Illvaris.
She hadn't explored the city as much as she wanted and she hadn't spent enough time with her friends either.
She hadn't even had the chance to talk properly with Rowena, and from what she had heard, Rowena and her husband had already returned to Elandria earlier that morning.
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to leave this soon either," Edmund admitted. "But this matter is urgent."
He placed his hands on her arms and gently rubbed them, trying to warm her up.
