“The penalty was worth the reward,” Roman said jokingly, meaning choosing Randy was worth getting to marry Rand. He squeezed her hand tightly again, and then slipped his free hand into his pocket, took the data disk, and slid it onto the table in between them. “A letter. From them. I haven’t read it yet.”
~ Roman
Rand picked up the heavy monstrosity of a PaDD in her free hand and set it on the table between them next to the disk. “Well you can plug the disk into the PaDD and one of us read it, or use it to bang and crush and hammer and demolish the disk and forget it ever existed.”
Rand
Roman frowned at the disk. He sort of didn’t want to know what was on it at all. But there was a nagging thought, what if it was something important. He already knew the recent news, of course, but did they know he knew? Then again if they didn’t, why had they waited this long? The Calianos had notified him first, heck apparently the news had picked it up first. In the end he sighed softly and handed her the disk. “Let’s read it together.”
~ Roman
Rand nodded, “Okay.” If that was what he wanted to do, then Rand would sit there with him. She couldn’t imagine after 14 years that it was anything good, especially when they hadn’t reached out when he had been so seriously wounded after the Ardent. Rand moved her chair over next to his and set the PaDD on her lap. She cleared the screen of the article and then slipped the disk into place. She held onto his hand and leaned over to kiss him before propping the PaDD between them and opening the file.
