Chapter 23: The Stairs
I stood very still on the bottom step.
Shayla stood in the doorway above me with the yard light behind her.
"Jagger said your father would never," she said. "I told him every man has a price. Lane's was a guilty conscience."
"Go to bed, Shayla."
"I'm a bride. I don't sleep tonight." She tilted her head. "You stole my wedding. I'm stealing your Run."
Then she turned toward the kitchen and raised her voice.
"Guards! The prisoner's out!"
Boots hit the kitchen floor somewhere above us.
My crescent went hot as a coal.
Behind me, my father's flashlight swung across the wine racks.
"Get back down, Rae."
"No."
"Rae."
He came up behind me on the narrow stair. There wasn't room for two.
"Flat against the wall," he said.
I pressed my back to the stone.
He climbed past me, so close his jacket scraped my cheek, and stepped up into the doorway beside Shayla.
He was a head taller than her.
She took a step back without meaning to.
Two warriors came running into the kitchen yard. One of them was my fourteen stitches.
