“Heath,” she breathed out his name, “I’m fine.”
“Maybe your memory is back, but we still don’t know what the poison is doing internally. Please, Sarifena, let me take you inside.”
Sarifena glanced at Emersyn, who was wrapped in Drakes embrace. Emersyn gave her a tiny nod and smiled, “Sarifena, that was amazing.”
Sarifena smiled, “It was, wasn’t it. Now, if this big lug would just put me down,” she huffed, folding her arms against her chest.
“Let him check you out. That display of magic was astronomical, Sarifena. Maybe it changed something inside you. You remember now… so maybe it helped other things.”
“Fine.” Sarifena relented and relaxed in his arms, her head resting against his chest. Although he was wearing a button-down shirt, Sarifena could feel the taut muscles beneath the fabric. His heart pounded against her ear as she pressed it closer. The walk to the castle’s medical wing seemed like an eternity, but finally, Heath set her down on a table.
“Now,” he stepped away from her, “Let’s check you out.”
