Her rage if she hurt Lord Ellis would be no less…
““Her rage if she hurt Lord Ellis would be no less catastrophic than her rage if she didn’t and Randa retaliated. She would not do it. She wouldn’t torture a man who was only trying to protect his children. She didn’t know what would happen because of this. But she knew that today, she would hurt no one. She threw back her blankets and thought only of today.””
