Summary
“May I….?”
She flinches, doesn’t know what he means to do. Her calves bump the tombstone of James Cambell, dead 13th July 1769, as she tries in vain to create some distance.
Without waiting for an answer his hand touches down on her neck. For a wild moment she thinks he means to clutch and clench. Hurt. Steal air. But instead he places his palm on the side of her throat. His hand is neither warm nor cold, it just is. His touch is light and unobtrusive.
She stands still, feels her pulse beat into his hand and she watches as his gaze turns…away. He is not here in the graveyard with her anymore, she can see it clearly. And those pinpricks of light that she had seen in his eyes when they first met, they are back, and they glow cold like stars.
“I was right. They do not see me like this,” he says in an almost-whisper. His voice is a low rasp, full of vibrations and notes just slightly out of reach.
“What?” she whispers. The question comes out on a cloud of frost. It is cold, suddenly. Next to her Fenn growls softly.
“‘Any number of destinies, any number of outcomes’.”
