"They said yes," Heila said weakly. Her body was still trembling and her hands tightly gripped the railing next to the walkway for support. It wasn't until now, when the decision had been made, that she realized how frightened she'd been that Ashlynn would say no because it was too dangerous.
Months ago, when Zedya had first selected her from among all of the servants to tend to Lady Ashlynn's needs, she'd never dreamed of a moment like this coming to pass.
