“What’s above this, Graham?” he called to the man who was keeping Ian and Gabby from rushing inside.
He heard him.
“It heads toward the pasture where Romeo and Juliet graze. It would depend on how far back it goes.”
Oh, well, it went far.
Gryphen made up his mind.
“We should be good,” he admitted. “The only thing is we need to be careful of anything that’s here waiting for us. If I was hiding Ian’s body,” he began, and the man protested.
“Excuse me?” he called.
It made him laugh.
“You know I was just making an example, Ian. If anything, it would be you hiding my body. Who are we kidding?” he teased.
He heard laughter, and continued.
“If I was hiding my lover’s body, I’d make sure no one could defile it.”
Michael agreed.
“We should be good, but everyone should be wary. We’re underground, and I don’t want to die in here with whatever is at the end of the tunnel.”
Finn sighed.
“Come on, Gabby,” he said.
And it took her like three seconds to race into the corridor and get to her fiancé.
She.
Moved.
Fast.
As soon as she was by his side, he just sighed. She was bold, and he knew it. Her overwhelming need to solve things was going to get them in trouble one day.
He could feel it in his…bones.
Ironically enough.
Ian was a little slower, and Gryphen was shocked. He must not have wanted to get his ass busted by his fiancé. Behind them both, Graham appeared, and he had a few extra lights in his hands.
“I grabbed these,” he said, handing one to Gryphen and one to Finn.
As he did, D’Artangnan was right beside him, hovering. It made Graham nervous because he was still caught up over being called‘babe’.
His brain was trying to process it, as if it was some cruel joke, and the universe was waiting to laugh at him. Oh, he wanted to be his‘babe’more than anything, but what were the chances?
Slim.
To.
None.
As they began moving deeper into the corridor, it was wide enough for them to walk two-by-two. Graham was leading, since the castle was his duty.
