But there was no reply.

The next morning. Elara woke up, half-expecting Asher to have left already

But when she went downstairs, there he was, sitting in the dining room like nothing had happened, as it waiting for her. Without a word, Elara sat down and started eating her breakfast.

She got in, but before she could say anything. Asher climbed in after her like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Elara gave him a sharp look. "Asher, what's your problem? Didn't you say you wouldn't ride with me anymore? I still remember what you said yesterday."
