Redsand Canyon Estía

When she told him that she believed it was better, Arsenio softened. Relief washed through him and cleansed him of a great deal of worry.

Tamar pressed to him and spoke of the Roman’s wife. Arsenio had not had much of a chance to know the woman, but he found the idea of the soldier being married odd. Duty had seemed to be his only love, though the Greek had known him for a short time. When Tamar spoke of it, the man chuckled and nodded his head in agreement. It was pleasing to know he was not alone with his thoughts.

She is nice, though? Do you know what she does to help Mereo? I have been thinking what you might like to do here. I do not want you to grow bored, Arsenio spoke fondly, kissing her once. I would like to take you to show you the canyon. It is beautiful in the evening time.

The pale brown of her eyes brought peace to him. Knowing they were free was an astounding gift. 

All it had cost was a fraction of the man’s soul.
