Peace, Archer,” Fire said again. Archer’s eyes settled on…
““Peace, Archer,” Fire said again. Archer’s eyes settled on Fire’s face. “All right,” he said reluctantly, taking her hand. “Peace, because war is unbearable.” Roen snorted. “You two have the strangest relationship in the Dells.” Archer smiled slightly. “She won’t consent to make it a marriage.” “I can’t imagine what’s stopping her. I don’t suppose you’ve considered being less munificent with your love?” “Would you marry me, Fire, if I slept in no one’s bed but yours?” He knew the answer to that, but it didn’t hurt to remind him. “No, and I should find my bed quite cramped.””
