I wasn’t entirely sure when this woman had become as necessary to me as the air in my lungs. Maybe it was when she finally understood how to use her power—and used it to freeze me in place so she could kick me in the balls. Perhaps it was the moment I realized she’d never gotten on that ship. And she was instead in the most dangerous place she could possibly have been as she fought to free her best friend. It might have been when I saw her dying in that fucking castle and realized I was so completely out of my mind, it might as well have been me who was poisoned.
