eyes. “Ask me to come to Perranth with you.”
Her voice broke, but she managed to say,
“Come to Perranth with me.”
Lorcan nodded, as if in answer, and his
smile was the most beautiful thing she had
ever seen. “Ask me to marry you.”
Elide began crying, even as she laughed.
“Will you marry me, Lorcan Salvaterre?”
He swept her up into his arms, raining
kisses over her face. As if some final, chained
part of him had been freed. “I’ll think about
it.”
Elide laughed, smacking his shoulder. And
then laughed again, louder.
Lorcan set her down. “What?”
Elide’s mouth bobbed as she tried to stop
her laughing. “It’s just ... I’m Lady of
Perranth. If you marry me, you will take my
family name.”
He blinked.
