Bind Our Loving Souls
“I struggled to open my eyes as I realized I was sitting up against something warm, something I’d drooled all over. Enock! “Sorry,” I said, perking up and wiping the saliva off of his coat.
“It didn’t bother me at all.” He put a hand on my chin and licked away what was dripping down over it, making it even wetter than before and causing me to shiver. Enock took me in his arms and stood, helping me to stand as well.
“It’s five past the hour when all Halvandors rest,” Enock said through a yawn. “If we go now, we should be safe.”
I remembered Enock showing me that Anvilayans had an internal clock that kept time for them as we climbed out of his window. Outside, I wrapped my arms around his neck as he held me against him with one arm and raced all the way around the manor, slowing to a stop at the top of the hill. Here, he sat me down and we walked to the door.
The chirping of insects and the gentle breeze felt good. The moon shone overhead in a much clearer sky than it had earlier that night.
