Chapter 94
Rose stood beside Finn and a man she was introduced to named Liam. She watched as the soldiers all helped to put together their meal for the night. The aroma that filled the air reminded Rose of the tasty stew which was cooked by Soren and Brian. She could hardly wait to try what was being prepared.
"Enjoy your time with Mary?" Finn questioned, curious as to how the different women fared.
"I did. She is quite interesting," Rose replied.
"Mary? The same Mary that I introduced you to? Was all it took to have another woman around?" Finn wondered as he never heard anyone call Mary interesting.
"If you act like you are afraid of her, you cannot expect her to give you a warm welcome. She can be serious but I think she is also fun. She is willing to teach me how to ride a horse. If I can find a horse, I won’t need to ride with Zayne," Rose revealed.
"That isn’t good," Finn blurted out. "I mean, it costs a bit of money to buy a good horse. A young strong one that could do what you need. It’s best to ride with Zayne for now until you have saved up. Maybe if you smiled sweetly and asked to borrow his horse, he would give it to you."
"I don’t think he would," Rose answered, her excitement fading thanks to Finn.
"Trust me that he would. You only need to ask him as sweetly as you can and wait for the best time to ask. Don’t do it when he is busy and watch how he quickly agrees to it. Do you want to bet?" Finn asked, offering his hand for them to shake on it.
Rose didn’t think Zayne would give her the horse he rode on but she still did not want to make a bet with Finn. "It is best that we do not. Where is he?" Rose asked as she had not seen Zayne after his tent went up.
