Chapter 92
Many hours into the ride, Zayne noticed how relaxed Rose became as she leaned back on him. She was most likely bored now after spending most of the ride looking around or she was drifting off to sleep.
They were close to their first stop where they would set up camp as it was too dangerous to travel at night and the horses needed to rest.
"Rose," he called softly, checking to see if she would answer.
"Yes?" Rose answered, turning to look at Zayne. "Do you need something?"
"No. You were sitting so comfortably that I thought you were asleep. We’re close to where we will set up camp for the night so you can stretch your legs," said Zayne.
Rose looked to the sky which was still bright. How were they preparing for the night already? "Have we been travelling that long? It doesn’t feel that long ago since we left your camp. Are we out of town now?"
"We have been for a while now. Where you resided was near the border of that town which separates it from the town we are going to. We have one more day’s ride and then you will see the palace from afar. This tells me that you have not been looking at the map I gave you," Zayne said, knowing he was right because of her smile.
"I have not looked at it since the night I was planning to go to the church. I have not brought it along," Rose confessed.
"I have plenty of maps packed away somewhere so you can take one. Circle where you have travelled to. Does anything look familiar to you? There aren’t any fields with flowers around us but there can be something else that seems familiar," Zayne said, looking to his right at the tall trees blocking what was behind them.
