Silvertip Mountain Cumbersome times

FitzDutiful avoided answering Bindi's question until she had responded to his words about stepping up the border control. "Hunting would be lovely." He let her lead the way to some prey thinking all the while about the children that would soon be here.

Bindi mentioned about meeting them and he realised that something was a bit different this time. Was she finding this entire situation as fake as him? Were they just both so weary? It was almost as if the attraction that had been so prevalent the past few months had dimmed. Did she blame him for the loss of her looks? She looked just as lovely to him but he was trying his best to avoid thinking of that right now. Maybe she was doing the same. "I can't wait to meet them either. Then this whole stupid charade will be closer to an end." The words blurted out before he could stop them. He was just glad that Raissa wasn't able to hear them. Then again, she wouldn't know what it meant. She couldn't.
