the ground. Soracia was a fearful sight, but a strange memory of

Soracia smiled fondly at her, but her expression became serious. “Do you recall the boy thief?” she asked. “How much of you remains? . . .or are you leaving me entirely?” “Boy thief?” “A shaft of sunlight and a breath of wind. He was your close friend. You and he together were a force to contend with.” “What on earth are you talking about?” Heath frowned and shifted her weight from one foot to the other. “Sally?” Her sister regarded her until Heath’s gaze faltered. “Well, he has returned.” |
