Chapter 245

"You must rest,' Rose said, refusing to let Zayne leave the bed. "An hour will do to have you rested."

Zayne held Rose's hand, not wanting her to leave him so she could explore the home alone. "When you said we would be spending time here, I thought it meant something else."

"It is day," Rose replied, looking away from Zayne. "And every once in a while, someone is coming to knock on the door. I don't want them to hear. It is embarrassing for my first day.

Zayne had the solution. "I can clear that floor for no one to disturb us."

"No," Rose shook her head. "You will rest. You were up checking the ship for more hours than you laid with me. If you care for me, please rest. I don't know when the king will call upon you and you will need to be leaving again. I want to know that you got the chance to rest."
