Kate was sitting beside Ramza, he was holding the rope guiding the horses not to stray outside the path.
"You're unusually quiet today. Why?" she asked him.
Ramza shrugged. "I'm trying to concentrate on my driving..." he joked and smiled at her. "I'm savoring your wonderful presence beside me," he winked at her.
Kate giggled. "Really-?"
She bit her lip.
Ramza kept to himself. This is the last day he would be able to enjoy her presence. A few hours from now... the castle on the hill will be visible after they passed through that mountain in the distance.
He was just delaying the inevitable. He just wanted to spend another night with her by his side. If they would travel straight without stopping they would arrive on the foot of the hill where the castle was located before the night ends, and he was dreading it.
Losing her forever... looks real now.
"Are we near to the castle on the hill?" she asked.
