How often did Reverie find herself beckoned to the borders by a beautiful man?
She didn't think it had ever happened! So it was with a blush and a shy smile that she answered the call. Hello,
She greeted, recognizing immediately the scent of Akashingo on him. Even here, they had found her; the thought sent a small shiver of fear down her spine, she who had put mountains and valleys between herself and heartbreak time and again.
Oh, is this about the wedding?
Reverie wondered aloud, remembering her conversation with Senmut. She did not know if she was healed enough for this. She did not know if Boone would be okay with her leaving. But she knew in an instant that, more than anything, she wanted to attend.
A coronation. Senmut had spoken of a wedding, but Reverie was uncertain if this was the same event.
Either way, she was uncertain. I'll have to speak with my husband,
She spoke after a moment, glancing over her shoulder. You can stay for the night, if you'd like. It's a long journey from here to the desert.
Either way, Khusobek would have his answer soon, as well as a gift of meat as thanks for bringing the message. In the end Reverie would stay home; Boone was unwilling to go to the desert again, and she was unwilling to be parted from him for so long.
But she wondered what it might have been like.
