Valley of Gold a voice

tamar wanted to defend arsenio.

but zulema knew she was loved. zulema knew she was protected.

what she needed was his words.

their daughter would not go. she felt her heart break, inexplicably. tamar darted after the fox when she saw it again, and curved it around, back toward zulema.

they did not need to speak again until the hunt was over. and this, too; this would be good.
