[HAWI]
"What?" Hawi asked when she reached her knights and they were staring at her like she had a lot of explaining to do. She wasn't sure who they were after, but then they were giving her the eyes that dared her to lie, and well, Awuor Hawi was a terrible liar.
"I may have told Mbali that you didn't mean what you said when you threatened to marry her and have her as a second wife," Ruru whispered and Hawi stared at her like she had lost her mind.
Whatever happened to the plan that they had intended to execute until morning? Hawi stared at her mate as if she couldn't believe that this would've happened with Ruru of all the people.
Then again, she had to remind herself that her Ruru had a soft heart, a heart of gold as many who had been close to her would admit to. Ruru hated seeing the people she loved suffering.
