  A FAR-FROM-ORDINARY CHRISTMAS
  
  “‘Vulgar’—my family motto. Though in Latin it means ‘ordinary,’ so maybe you’d
  better come up with a less toothless insult,” said Giles. “Sorry. You’re both
  going to have to try harder if you want me to crumble and weep. Princess,
  would you care to give it a go?”
  
  “No, I do not think that would be wise.”
  
  “And do you always do what’s wise?”
  
  “I have not in the past, no. But since I find myself unexpectedly in York and
  ostracized from my favorite sister’s wedding, it is probably past time I
  begin.”
  
  The lashes around Giles’s vivid blue eyes were dark, much darker than the
  copper of his hair or the gilded stubble just beginning to edge his jaw. “Or
  you could wait,” he said, “until after the new year. Allow yourself an unwise
  Christmas.”
  
  It was difficult to look directly at such blue eyes, like staring into the
  noontime sky. “I shall have that either way, since I am now a part of a quest
  for treasure.”
