Chapter 493: Time away (1)
Two days went by faster than everyone liked and it was now time for the group to split into two with Annalise, Siena, and Lydia going to the border while River, Beatrice, and Rafael were to head back to the manor.
Logan was still indecisive about where to go since he didn’t think two women and a child should be travelling alone even if one of the women was Annalise. He was yet to ask Rafael to let him go with them, but it seemed Rafael had no plans for him to go back to the manor.
"I’ve marked out the stops you should make on your way back. Do not go off-road from what I marked and sleep in the carriage when there aren’t any towns nearby. One-"
"Rafael, I know what I am going to do. I’ve travelled around before you came into my life and I was fine. Stop worrying because it will make others worry about us.

She had given him many kisses during the night to last the time they would be away from each other. Lydia had even joined in to kiss him on the cheek.
They said their goodbyes in private during the night and the morning when they woke up to start putting their things on the two carriages. It was mostly because it was a conversation only needed for their ears, but a little to avoid Beatrice crying.

Annalise helped Lydia into the open carriage door for her to go inside and be seated.
"Uhmm,’ Logan cleared his throat.
