Ragnora's house was trembling.
The bowls on the kitchen shelves rattled against one another with soft ceramic chimes. The candle on the dining table flickered left and right.
But there was no earthquake.
The source of the disturbance was Ragnora herself.
She paced back and forth near the doorway, her massive feet thudding against the wooden floor with enough force to send tremors through the entire structure.
She was walking around with anxiousness and nervousness in her heart and this was because Cassius had told her, before they parted ways earlier, that he would visit her again tonight.
The words had been casual, almost offhand. But to Ragnora, they had been everything.
'Tonight. He's coming tonight.'
'He said he would come tonight.'
The thought made her heart race. She unconsciously raised her hand to her lips, brushing her fingers against them as she remembered the promise of what was to come.
The kiss she had been too frightened to take yesterday.
