The Shadowsoul leaned back against the entrance to Mary King’s Close and thought. And thought. And thought some more.
Nope. No matter how she considered this, there was no easy way to say.
A few days later, she got her chance. He’d been so wonderful. There had been a cracked window in the kitchen. She’d come through to the lounge, complaining of the cold and he’d offered to have a look. And then he’d gone and made a new window!
