The Cyber Chronicles - book I: Queen of Arlin
“Tassin found that there was something oddly endearing about being around him in his helpless state, even though she longed for him to wake. The wood had all been burnt, and she lived on dry meat and water. She spent most of her time sitting beside him, stroking his face and willing him to get better.
Sometimes she talked, telling him of her past experiences and future plans. Sabre's colour improved, and he grew a soft beard, but she did not dare to try to shave him with the razor-sharp knife he... always used. At night, she slept beside him, the steady beat of his heart reassuring her.
On the third day, she calculated that there was only enough food for another four days. Often she walked to the edge of the cliff and gazed down at the warmer climes below, wishing she could get him down to them.
The thought of leaving him did cross her mind. She may be able to reach Olgara in time to find men and come back for him before he died of dehydration, but she was unwilling to take the chance that she might not make it back in time.MoreLess
