Heidi's eyes darkened instantly, and she muttered to herself, "Was it the first time he went on a mission to the south?"
"And then what?" Heidi asked.
"Then he went away, and I never saw him again," Emily explained. "Nothing happened between me and him."
"That's it?" Heidi's tone was one of disbelief.
"That's it."
