Violet squirmed in Ashton's arms, making him slow his run.
"Are you uncomfortable?" He asked. "Just a minute and we will be there."
"Where are you taking me?" She knew all the main roads and landmarks in the allied territories, but Ashton was taking her through a forest she had never seen before. Was taking a road she was unaware of, or did they exit the allied territories already?
He smiled a little. "You will see."
Violet gave up trying to figure him out. The point was that she trusted him, so she leaned her head on his shoulder and took a deep breath to fill her lungs with his scent. Carnations, her favorite. How come she didn't realize his unique scent before? Ashton would always bring her flowers, and she assumed that the sweet scent came from the white carnations in her hands. She was so silly.
