Chapter 331: Not welcomed (2)
"We’re only resting for two hours. Tell the men not to unpack too many of the supplies."
Annalise tied her horse to a nearby tree while Rafael spoke with Logan. Though they had been travelling from the time the sun was setting to the time it was rising, she was not tired and ready to explore.
She looked over her shoulder at Rafael talking and after she had secured the horse to a tree, she left it to graze on the grass. Annalise placed her hands behind her back as she walked away to explore.
It was always fun to look around somewhere she had never visited before and find what was special about it. If she was lucky, she could find the new pet she would share with Rafael and show him how cute it was now to convince him to let it stay in the same room as him.
Rafael wasn’t thrilled to sleep with a spider in the same room because he had never tried it before. Annalise smiled as she had a wonderful plan in mind now to surprise him with what would be joining their relationship. Being with her meant accepting her friends just as she accepted his friends. It couldn’t be helped that her friends were not human.
From his answer about having a pet, Annalise knew that she would be sharing a bedroom with Rafael. Not that she minded since she liked his room. Now that it was out in the open who she was, Annalise looked forward to trying on his armour when he would not be around.
Then there were her swords she would be able to use as she liked and not have to rush to put them back on the wall when she heard him coming.
"I was not going to wander off too far," Annalise said after she heard someone stepping on the dried leaves on the ground and knew it had to be Rafael. "I won’t do anything to have you always worrying about me. I wanted to look around a little and then I would have turned around. It is nice and quiet here. A lot of land to ride around and not worry about anyone watching you. A place to be carefree."
Rafael followed Annalise, looking around at what could be of interest to her. He hoped that there weren’t any creatures here that would capture her attention. He was willing to let her have one in the manor or Edgar’s home where his mother was staying, but he was not willing to travel with it the entire ride to Lockwood.
