Chapter 36

SABYN AND LOI TALKED THE whole flight, leaning backward or forward to speak in the other's ear. He told her all about his family, she learned he had two younger sisters who commandeered much of their parents' time. The twins, Lenia and Franti, were just sixteen and at that boy-crazy stage.

'It made the last visit we had at my family's home embarrassing,' Sabyn shook his head at the memory.

Loi laughed at the thought of the teenagers trying out their charms on the boys. 'I'll bet that doesn't go down well with Gredel,' she spoke in Sabyn's ear.

He roared with laughter.

'WHAT? WHAT'D SHE SAY?' DEMANDED Tomiar.

He relayed Laura's words to her. Tomiar chuckled and sent him an image of the last time Gredel had visitedit showed the large man pasty white while the two girls closed in on him, their eyelashes fluttering and hands clasped demurely in front. Gredel told Sabyn afterward, in no uncertain terms, that he would never again visit without Citaan.
