eyes sparked to life, outshining even the most brilliant golden seas, as she clutched the man’s lean waist with sudden fervor.

“Why would you say that?” she inquired, curiosity lacing her tone.

Thaddeus, with a casual flick of his hand, encircled her slim lower back, their shadows on the sandy beach merging as one. “Just a wild guess,” he quipped.

“Ugh.” A pout formed on Evadne’s lips, her disappointment visibly blooming.

Thaddeus hated to see her this way, so he scrambled for words. “Remember, the closest country to the North Sea is Helgen. Helgen’s waters join the North Sea, too, and there’s no other country beyond that. So I was thinking… maybe your mother ran into some trouble in Helgen and had to cross these waters as a stowaway? After all, Skyrim boasts the nation’s second-largest port.”

Evadne, impatient, asked, “But why must it be Helgen? Country T also lies along the North Sea,”

“Country T is still a bit far, and didn’t Suri say your mother was found battered and alone, with no other ships in sight? She must’ve swum for ages. Plus, the people of Country T have Southeast coast features, while Helgen’s populace shares our own traits. So, my theory is perhaps your mother might indeed hail from Helgen.”

The more Thaddeus spoke, the more convincing he found his own argument.

The sound of the water amplified the moment, flushing her cheeks with a bashful fircrimson.

But Thaddeus’ gaze, now tinged with desire, was stirred anew by her action. awarm, moist lips with a voracious hunger, teasing open her mouth with gentl chicks, seemingly insatiable in his exploration of her sweet taste.
