Queen of Spades

Note: this is just a story I'm working on in my free time. There will be much gay content.

The carriage jolted Ena, making her wake with a start. She yelped, grabbing on to the velvet seats with a feeble attempt to keep herself in place. Moonlight streamed past the curtains, illuminating her companion's sleeping face. 
She turned to look outside. It was much too dark to properly make out any of the scenery, but the tall, dark shapes writhing in the wind made her guess it was a forest. Ena recalled the map in her head, not bothering to pull it out and attempt to read it. There were four forests. They had already passed through two, so she was either very close to her destination, or very far away. She looked back at her escort. 
When they didn’t move, Ena looked down at her restless hands. Her feelings about every part of this journey were mixed, but she did not want to disappoint her mother. She must have fallen asleep once more, for when she opened her eyes again it was sunlight coming through the heavy curtains. They had exited the forest and were in a field, making their way past a river. So they had almost arrived. She sighed, twisting the silver ring on her pointer finger.  
Aiken was awake, digging through his bags. He looked up at her and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry if I woke you.” He said, pulling out a book and setting it aside.
Ena blinked. “Oh! No, it was the sun.” She gave him a tired smile and took the book, opening it to where she had left off the day before. “How close are we?”
“Only about a mile away, if the map serves me correctly.” His brow furrowed and he squinted at the map that was now in his hand. “I’ve never been very good with them, sadly.”
