Bran didn\u2019t reply, just spun himself slowly, around and around on the little stool in the corner of the room.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In his hothouse, Asil trimmed dead blooms from his roses. They weren\u2019t as glorious as the ones he\u2019d had in Spain, but they were a vast improvement over the commercially grown flowers he\u2019d started with. His Spanish roses had been the result of centuries of careful breeding. It hadn\u2019t bothered him to leave them at the time, but now he regretted their loss fiercely.
\n…
\nStill, he\u2019d been exchanging cuttings and rootstock with other rose aficionados for several decades before he\u2019d been forced to leave, so his work had not all been in vain. Somewhere in the world there were probably descendants of his roses. Maybe if Bran made him live a few more years, he\u2019d go out looking for them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sarai had often thumped him soundly on the head for looking at other women, though she\u2019d known he\u2019d never stray. Now that she was gone, he seldom even looked. Flirting didn\u2019t make him feel disloyal to his dead mate, but he\u2019d found he missed that thump too badly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s that final sentence that is heartbreaking.<\/p>\n
