Jonathan opened the door late that night, wanting to see her for himself. As Luka had been, he was shocked and horrified at what a day had done to her. He swam to her, hesitating at the fire in her eyes. He pulled her up, and she let him, clearly too broken-spirited to fight him.

“Of course!” he snapped. “If this is what a day does to her, we don’t want to make it longer. She’s too valuable to lose.”
“Yes, my lord.”
