“She said I hurt you.”
Tamlyn sat on the opposite side of the table and looked into Jenefer’s brown eyes. “I can hold my own.”
“That’s what I told her,” Jenefer said with a smile. It faded as she licked her lips. “I’ve got a bad feeling, Tam. I’ve had it for a while now.”
“What kind of feeling?”
Jenefer shrugged helplessly. “I’ve been trying to sort that out. I can’t pinpoint it. I just know in my bones that something bad is coming.”
“You mean Cullen’s arrival.”
“Yes. Maybe.” She sighed loudly. “I don’t know. I don’t like that he knows about this place, and I really don’t want him helping us.”
Tamlyn raised her brows. “Think how easily we could get the children. I wouldn’t have to climb that tower again.”
“The lad told me you fell. I didn’t share that with Sian, but she’ll find out eventually,” Jenefer warned.
Tamlyn glanced away. “He was heavier than the others.”
“Which is why you shouldn’t go alone. I can’t believe you got in and out again.”
Tamlyn cleared her throat and refused to look at Jenefer.
“Oh, no,” the Amazon stated. “Spit it out. All of it.”
Tamlyn put her arms on the table and messed with her short nails. She didn’t look up as she told Jenefer about the soldiers awaiting her in the forest and the brineling. Only when she finished did she dare look up. The look of shock and anger on Jenefer’s face told her that she was in for an argument.
“Have you lost your damned mind?” Jenefer asked softly.
Tamlyn shrugged. Jenefer had been asking her that a lot lately. Maybe she had lost her mind. “There wasn’t time to wake you.”
“There’s always time. I swear, Tam, if you don’t start taking me with you, I’m going to bolt the doors so you can’t leave.”
“No, please.”
Jenefer leaned forward, her gaze intense. “Then you wake me,” she said, punctuating each word.
Tamlyn nodded. “I promise.”
“Good.” Jenefer sat back. “Now, about moving.”
“We aren’t going anywhere.”
