The next day, Annalise sat outside in the garden with Rafael and Beatrice to enjoy a picnic Beatrice put together for the last day. River was away with Logan and another knight to speak with Siena's guard who was taken by the town guards.
"It is a nice day out to lay on the grass and do nothing," Beatrice said as she laid out what the cook prepared for her to use.
She spent her night thinking of ways they could spend time together before heading home in the evening. The trip went by faster than she liked, but she was ready to go back home to tend to her garden if she had time and start packing to travel with Rafael.
"It was a bit chilly last night. Did you sleep well, Annalise?" Beatrice asked, looking at Annalise who appeared lost in thought all morning. "I hope I didn't make it hard for you to sleep by asking you to watch over Rafael for me."
