Summary
Jean continues to wait until Clare’s eyes flicker up, over her shadowed, bare torso beneath the cloak and up to her face. All Clare sees in Jean’s expression is curiosity. That, and the inexplicable trust in her silver eyes that’s lingered there ever since Clare wrapped her arms around Jean’s neck and refused to let her die. Clare told her that her life debt has been repaid, but if Jean insists on following her and looking at her like that, so openly, so intensely, then maybe she should … “How is your body?”
The only indication that Clare has surprised her is the way the edges of Jean’s eyes widen for a brief moment and then soften ever so slightly. Clare doubts she would have noticed when they first escaped Riful, but in the few days that passed since she has found herself watching Jean just as closely as Jean watches her.
“Completely fine, thanks to you,” Jean says, and Clare knows she means it.
