I WAS CROUCHED down in the snow beside Edva and behind a few branches of pine a few minutes later, beyond the invisible magic barrier. My purpose for being there was loose and held little weight on its own, but I was throughly enjoying the quiet.

After I had told Edva about me being Adam's destiny, the Faerie was even more confident that his solution would be the right one.

Not to my surprise, Adam had grumbled about it.

I had ignored him.

He should be damn well grateful. We now had a promising lead but all he could think about was me being out there alone. I refused to see it as it sounded. I could not understand why he could not see that I was doing what I was solely for his cause.

He could not see past Edva and his charm.

Is that...not what I had wanted? For him to dislike the idea of me being with someone else?

I suddenly shivered —and I wondered if it was entirely because of the cold and winds.

My focus was forcibly on capturing an Icen, and I assumed the Faerie's was too, but out of nowhere he murmured, "...That human man feels something for you."

I paused, and tried not to react. It was a thought that I had pushed back since we had left Earth and had arrived on this Plane. It was obvious that Adam felt something there in the meadow ( I wistfully now counted it as a vision, considering all he had said about me being an Eve. If those points had been true, then that meant he could feel the way he had about me eventually ), but what about me? What did I feel? I thought I knew at first, but...I no longer had a grasp on my answer.
