Chapter 12
Does he know that Eli is a sorcerer? How else to explain the stick that flew?
Yusuf interrupted his thoughts. “I trust him with my life. He promised to watch over you and he will, even if it means his life.”
“I owe you the roof over my head, my lord,” Micha said. “If you believe I should trust, him I will try.”
Yusuf spoke. “I thought you both would have some things in common.” Yusuf cleared his throat before he continued. “Don’t you like him? I sensed you were attracted to him.”
Micha’s face burned again.
How did he know?
“Come now. Don’t act surprised. I’ve seen how you don’t even look at the Egyptian women. But when you saw Eli, you smiled. Then I knew I made the right decision.”
Micha said nothing, his head bowed. His heartbeat had calmed.
