GAR
Gar wasn't sure what happened, and apparently his father was a little uncertain too, because pretty soon they found themselves sitting on the couch with Aaryn while the females all bustled and squealed and cried upstairs.
"I'm still unclear exactly what's going on…" Gar started.
But his father just shrugged. "You and me both."
Aaryn huffed. "I think they're going to do the human tradition. Elia talked about it before Elreth and I were going to walk the Flames. That honeymoon thing we did was a part of it."
Gar's heart squeezed at the idea of getting Rika away for a week by himself—but then plummeted.
He had to train Aaryn to go through the traverse. He had a new tribe to establish in the Tree City and lead. And the humans were on their way. There would be no time for stolen nights with Rika, marriage or not.
