"He's my king," Adam said, softly. "And chosen by the ley line. I won't bring anyone else."
Gansey stared, mouth open, at where Adam was touching the guardian, and how the guardian put his hand over Adam's without Adam taking any kind of offense at being touched. His chin lifted in surprise at what Adam said, because Gansey hadn't known that Adam saw him like that.
"He told me that the ley line was allied with a temple that belonged to an angel," Gansey said, trying not to mentally count the seconds that Adam was in physical contact with another person of his own volition. "That he had been chosen as its 'priestess', and that the guardian had been alone for centuries. He said it might be relevant to my search, though you probably wouldn't let me past the threshold, and that he wanted me to tell you about him. And Aglionby. And Virginia." Gansey understood a little of what it had cost Adam to ask this favor. Tell him about me. The things I... can't.
