Chapter 192

• Ismena was at her happiest, and she could barely hide it. This week with Wolfaraine has turned out to be the best time of her life. He was freer with her more trusting. More open.
• Oh, he still has a deep frown on his face sometimes, but then again, she no longer sees it as his default setting because those dark lines dissolve whenever she comes into sight. He does not smile much, but he doesn't frown as much either. Big progress.
• Also, they were closer than they'd ever been. And she's not talking about the nights when they make love and they converse for most of the night if she's still awake after that, before he has to retreat to his bed chambers. No, it's not only in the bedroom, they are closer everywhere.
