Chapter ONE - Weebly

“Better bring another for Derrey here,” Kannice
said.
Kelf eyed each of them in turn and tromped back to
the kitchen to fetch another bowl.
Kannice turned her back on Diver and looked down
at Ethan. “I’ll deal with you later,” she said, a coy smile
on her lips. She started back to the bar, shouting, “Tom
Langer, I swear if you spill another ale in my tavern I’ll
banish you for a year and a day!”
Several men behind Ethan laughed uproariously.
“She’s a hard woman, Ethan,” Diver said, watching
her walk away.
“Only with you. And I’m not sure it’s undeserved.”
Diver frowned and drank the rest of his ale. Kelf
brought a second bowl of stew, placed it in front of
Diver without saying a word, and returned to the bar.
“I want to know what you had going on with
Daniel,” Ethan said as Diver started to eat.
“I told you,” Diver said, his mouth full. “Nothing at
all.”
“That’s the first time you’ve looked me in the eye
since we started talking about him.”
