94 The visit…

Once Cole left, I returned to the other documents spread on the round table.

There were appeals, lots of them, mostly from the people in the lower villages, complaints and appointments that needed my approval. A few minutes later, I was struggling to understand what I was reading because my thoughts kept slipping to Lyla.

The last time I saw her, she was a girl… but by magic or whatever reason, Lyla had blossomed into a beautiful woman with curves that could kill a man and it has killed me severally already.

I lowered my head guilty. “Technically, we’re not, I grumbled.
