ZINA
All the arguments Zina wished to muster to let Daemon know that he never needed to prove anything to her, much less his love, died on the tips of her tongue as curiosity settled within her.
Even though it made her uncomfortable that Daemon thought she might have doubts about his feelings, she was actually curious to know how he intended to prove them in turn. Never had she seen him like this—so at ease with her while going as far as taking her outside of the castle walls—so how could she not be curious?
So she stewed in tensed silence as the castle jostled forward taking them to a destination she never knew anything of… yet. She was about to make small talk when Daemon beat her to it.
"You spoke of your mother the other day…" he trailed, his dark broody eyes observing her carefully while Zina startled at his words.
