valeria was aghast .
it 's the sort of foolish whim your majesty 's family is famous for . '

five looks pretty beat up , bruises all down the side of his face , one of his arms hanging limp at his side .
i swear , sometimes that man seems to a hundred years old !

she watched them with a secret hope in her heart .
did n't she ?
i hate controlling men .
he had a knife .
i could n't help but ask .
the longing on his face made her stomach churn .
gathering his pack in one hand , jack climbed over the stone sill .
