"I could throttle you, you know, for making me wait so long," Nymia mutters, with a loving frustration I've heard many times before.
I wipe the tears from my eyes and fall back into a role I know how to play. "Good thing you’re the patient one."
She laughs softly. The sound makes my heart swell.
With her next words, I deflate.
"Where have you been?"
"Oh, Nymia." I sigh and shake my head. "You won't believe what I'm about to tell you."
There's so much to explain, I don't even know where to start.
So I go back to the beginning, before I woke to a land I didn't recognize, before the night that changed everything, before the lies, before the secrets, before I lit the match that caused the world to burn. I go back to a time when I was just a girl, and he was just a boy, and we were two strangers on the brink of becoming so much more.
I know humans like to start these sorts of stories with once upon a time, but I'm worried that's setting the stage for false hopes.
Because we don't all live, and we aren't all happy.
Not every curse can be broken, after all.
