Chapter 72
"Over two hours later you finally return. I was starting to think that you were running from telling us why we did what we did. And you brought fruit. Let me have a bit," Finn said, trying to get one of the slices Zayne had left over but the bowl was moved. "After what I did for you, you won’t give me a piece?"
"Since when did you eat fruit at this time? You won’t touch them at dinner but you had time to cut them up?" Liam noted.
Finn might be onto something that Zayne was being strange these days. Liam could only hope it wasn’t something in the air that would have all of them changing. Or had Zayne found a woman like Finn was suggesting?
"I am in the mood for something sweet tonight," Zayne said, continuing to eat the fruit by himself.
He didn’t need them at first but with everything peeled and cut up for him, Zayne had eaten most of what Rose prepared for him without noticing. He rode slow on the way back so he could eat the fruit as he looked around the town.
"You must tell us now. We deserve to know why you have this sudden interest in a brothel. I heard the owner suggested that you like men. Do you?" Finn asked. It would come as a surprise but still makes sense.
Zayne stopped to look at Finn who was just as stupid as Graham.
"Allow me," Liam said, hitting Finn on his arm. "It was an order from the general."
Finn grabbed Liam’s shirt. "He didn’t say a word."
