After they had returned to Strength City, North granted each of them a room to spend the rest of the night, and neither Roman nor Rena wanted to stay in the same room that night.
Roman was alone in a room at the edge of the building, where he watched the city from the window and refused to sleep until it was fully bright.
Rena hadn't slept either. She just lay on the bed and had a lot of thoughts going through her mind. All that North had told her, and of course, all that had happened between her and Roman.
She didn't know how North had managed to get Roman away from the messengers, but at this point, she had come to really believe that they knew each other before.
The way he talked to her freely like they were friends from high school, and the way she responded so casually like she didn't care how he talked to her.
She was the Mayor of Strength City, for crying out loud!
That was surely something, right?
