Chapter 210 – Morning Meetings

• Ella and Sinclair wake up the next morning before their children do, curled in each other’s arms as they always are.
• “Stop,” Sinclair commands, tightening his arms when Ella starts to move, to roll away towards the edge of the bed. “Don’t. Stay.”
• “We have to get them up, Dominic!” Ella protests, laughing, but her body betrays her, going soft and pliable again in her mate’s arms. “They have to go to school. And then off to war. And we have meetings.”
