…… The next morning, I show up for training at the Nelson’s home with all the other warriors. The scent of vanilla is stronger now and it calms both Kai and I to know that she is so close and that she’s safe. Mr. Nelson puts us through a rigorous training again this morning before sparring. He’s l
I slept well Tuesday night. It was nice being back in my own bed after so much time. When I wake up in the morning, I hear the sounds of training outside. I head over to my window seat and sit. Rik had said that dad was training the warriors now, but I didn’t realize he meant here in our personal t

I can’t believe how much attention Rik is giving me the rest of the day. He is there after every class and insists on carrying my bag for me, walking me to my next class. I don’t know if he realizes how many people are watching us, but I do. Maybe it’s because everyone has figured out that he was my
Since I don’t have training when I get home, I decide to take some extra time and get ready for tonight. I take a long soak in my tub, using the scents that Rik got me as one of my gifts. I light the candles and when I’m done, I rub the vanilla lotion into my skin. I take some time blow drying my ha
