~ ROWAN
I felt Nyssa's surprise down the bond when we didn't drive straight home.
She I turned to me with her brows knotted in confusion but I said nothing to, merely kept my eyes straight ahead as I drove down the road.
I turned down the road before the palace. Rows of beautiful houses lined either side of the street. When I was younger, I wanted nothing more than to live here but I always knew it was never in my plans.
I stopped in front of a simple white house with a chimney at the top.
"Where are we?" Nyssa asked slowly as I stepped out of the car. "Is this another one of your family's properties?"
"Yes, and no. This is Aria's house."
Her eyes widened in shock. "Rowan—"
I could feel her unease and worry. It was beautiful how worried she was for my sister but soon she'd learn that Aria didn't need anyone to defend her.
