Antonin gave her space the rest of that night. They spoke as little as possible over their shared meal. Even with the constant threat of their world crashing down around their ears, her husband attempted to keep as much distressing news away from her as he could. She appreciated his perceptiveness that evening. Even if she was still mulling over Rabastan's offer from earlier in the week of betraying the man she was forced to marry. If he could offer her a future free from the confines of the family she never wanted, she knew it wouldn't be that difficult to say yes. The married couple slipped into the same bed side by side and passed another night not touching.
