All things considered, it hadn't actually been many days since the two of them left Valois.
A long-distance trip could easily last longer.
And yet, these few days felt like a lifetime ago.
A few days ago, her life had been one way.

Timothy York, however, remained awake and silent from beginning to end.
When Summer Thorne was awake, he mostly stared out the window. Only when she was asleep in his arms did his gaze fall back upon her, watching her in silence.
