They packed into the carriage, Delaney sitting between Mason and Vincent with very little space. She scooted over closer to Vincent, preferring to be pressed up against her husband than the prince. Vincent wrapped his arm around her and she snuggled into the warmth of him. It was only now that they were out of the rain and the excitement was over that she realized how cold she was.
They rode home and she thought about what Captain Black had said. A witch had told him Delaney was important to his future with Vincent. She wondered what that meant.
The carriage hit a bump and Vincent inhaled sharply. Her husband's pain brought her out of her thoughts of the pirate king. She looked up and saw he had his jaw clenched. Delaney realized then he must be in quite a lot of pain after all the walking and dancing and now riding in the carriage.
