LAURA WAITED UNTIL THE DOOR CLOSED WITH A DULL CLUNK, leaving a barrier between her and her soldiers. She wouldn’t dare let any of them see her hands shake, and unfortunately that’s all they’d been doing since the night at the Twins. The lack of control over her body infuriated her. She was usually so controlled, particularly her hands, and with a sword in those hands. Now she didn’t want to risk picking one up. The goblet of wine she’d been left was challenge enough. She took a sip, making a mental note to ask for more white wine rather than red.
Beside it were a few bandages, some warm water, and milk of the poppy, among other supplies. She picked up the milk and took it with her to the bed where her king was still sleeping. That she would need, whether his bandages needed changing again or not. She didn’t hold much hope for him waking soon, probably for the best given his wounds. Laura sat by his bed and carefully lifted the warm furs to inspect the progress, trying not to let the cold disturb him.
