Julianna found this statement absurd. Jan had just returned, and Nadja had hardly welcomed him or asked him anything. Although Julianna could not, Nadja should be hugging him, holding him.
Then again… perhaps Jan did not want to be hugged or questioned? Maybe he simply wanted to be with his family again and let everything else wait?
Jan’s expression was unreadable, but he reached out for Julianna with his right hand. For once, he wasn’t trying to charm her or use his wiles for his own amusement. He seemed desperate for something to hang onto.
Reaching back, she took his hand, grasping it firmly, and led him after Nadja into the keep.
