Chapter 26 She fell into a deep but fitful sleep that night .
She kept reliving the night of the fire .
Bringing the memories back up for Dax earlier had also brought baggage and she couldnt shake it .
In an attempt to raise both her and Daxs spirits she decided to show him the blanket and pillow shed made .
He would either hate them and she would know exactly how he felt about her or hed not hate them and there was still hope that he did want her as his wife .
Whatever was bothering him , theyd work it out together .
Shed prove to him that she was trustworthy .
Shed put the silky fabric over her left arm and the throw pillow in her right , when she walked through the door to Daxs room .
Shed thought shed find him sleeping but to her pleasant surprise , he was sitting up and had a pillow behind him .
Oh ! Did David come in ! Her brow creased and concern overwhelmed her .
No.
I wanted to sit up and you were taking forever to wake up .

She moved over to the chair and stood in front of it , his clear blue eyes following her .
If you werent so much work , I wouldnt feel the need to stay in bed .
Regret instantly filled her as she watched his playful smile fall and embarrassment take its place .
Im only playing M- uh , Dax .
Youre not really all that much work .
I just overworked myself going to the market and back .
The lines on his face faded some but she noticed that his smile didnt come back .
Thats because you dont eat enough .
From now on , youre to make two settings for dinner and you will be sharing dinner with me .
Now .
He paused and nodded at the material in her arms .
Whats all this ? I really dont do frilly stuff like that .
Instantly , her heart fell into her gut and her shoulders dropped .

Well .
She laughed to herself for being so dumb but she continued anyway .
I dont have all that much to do when youre resting and Savonnuh , Goddess be with her , had way too many dresses .
I took a few of the ones I knew Id never wear and I made you a blanket and pillow from them .
I know its not much but like I said , I had the time and I thought maybe youd appreciate a gift after everything but … youre right .
She shifted backwards and set both items on the chair before turning back to Dax .
It is kind of frilly and unneeded .
Ill bring them back to my room when I get back with breakfast .
And then she turned and left him .
She couldnt tell exactly what his face meant but she knew it was the first time shed seen it .
Shed describe it as horror , only she couldnt think of any reason why hed react with horror .
Yet , that was the closest she could get .

Am I really so vile ? Her heart hurt .
She WAS so vile .
And dumb .
Of course he didnt mean he wanted her as a wife .
He simply couldnt argue with her .
Shed made him her favorite dish .
Simple but full of flavor and sweetness .
Bread , smothered in egg and covered in a sweetened sticky sauce .
She was carrying it on one of the pretty silver trays .
Shed waited for the new doormen to open the doors before she moved in .
Only what she saw had the tray falling to the floor .
She slammed both doors shut behind her before running over to Dax as he lay on the floor in between his bed and the chair .
