Meredith raised her brows, surprised about his answer. She broke their gaze quickly as a blush heated her cheeks .
"Oh-thank you." The words came out as a whisper. She had to admit Marcus also looked flawless .
He wore a loose-fitting shirt over jeans, his long hair now falling beyond his shoulders, ash strands sweeping across his forehead and tucked behind his ears.
Meredith was drawn back to his eyes again, those eyes that she couldn't drag herself away from and his gaze still hadn't strayed from hers.
His eyes were so captivating, like they could look right through you.
Marcus cleared his throat, interrupting her thoughts.
"You wanted to see me?" Marcus asked, leaning in his chair.
"Yeah, are we going somewhere? You told Maria you wanted to show me something."
Marcus nodded and looked at his watch.
"Sorry I was supposed to come for you but I got caught up with something. We would be going to the Northern Kingdom for the alliance meeting."
