My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Then she left the courtyard, her face sullen.

I looked back at Hendrix, speechless for a moment. What was he trying to do?

A part of me admired Rowane's endurance. From the moment she came in until she left, she had held back her anger and kept a smile on her face the whole time.
