Chapter 9
Wren could not remember the last time
She felt this safe and comforted
As she slowly relaxed
Into Triss' almost loving embrace
Her tears had not subsided
Nor would they
For even though Triss was safe
She had another reason to cry
She had spent the morning hours
Thinking of her darkened past
She knew that now
It was time to tell Triss about Arne
Without thinking more on the matter
Wren disclosed what had happened
Between her and Tib Arne
Many years ago
She feared that she would be unable
To finish her tale
But each time that happened
Triss would stroke her hair, urging her to continue
At last
Wren came to the end
When she had been picked up
By Spirit and Tiger Ty
Wren kept her head down
She knew that she could tell Triss anything
But she wasn't so sure
About how this would affect them
She reluctantly let Triss lift up her head
Knowing that he would not let her continue in despair
It was one of the things she loved about him
'Yes…I do love him'
