She felt like there was something Gangleri still wasn’t tell her but she let that slide. The thought of being a burden to him was weighing more on her than anything left unsaid but Quilriana wasn’t sure what else there was to say on the matter at the moment. They would both need some time to properly think about how everything would work, especially since she wouldn’t kick Geric out of the home. He may have to be told about the set up to the marriage and that she sometimes had a lover stop by. In truth, she didn’t even sleep with R’nya on every visit. Sometimes the bronzerider only needed someone to talk with as he slipped away from the pressures of life for a bit. And while she felt she owed R’nya a lot for taking in her children and giving them better chances in life, she didn’t need to ask him permission to make changes in her own life.
Not working so hard every day sunrise to sunset had some appeal. It also scared her. She’d been doing that for so long that it had taken the past two weeks to help her unwind and stop worrying about the lack of work she was doing. Not that she would be a woman of leisure. Running a home took work and she could even ask to work in the Hall’s kitchen if she was truly itching to do more. And she could help Geric. He needed guidance and Quilriana wasn’t sure Gangleri was the one to give it.
“My only other demand is that it is just the simple ceremony of exchanging the vows. We’re both widowed and neither of us are marrying into a Lord Holder’s family so anything more isn’t needed.” As he said, it was a modest proposal and one done more for convenience than love—though Gangleri had become a dear friend since he first strolled into the Whetstone. “We’ll still need to work out a few details but I suppose this is me agreeing to the idea.”
