“But not if I’m like this,” I cry out softly. “I spent so long wanting this and then I realized what I had wanted all along was you. It was always you, Ramsay. From the very beginning I wanted to be heard and understood and seen, and you see me. You see me for all that I am, princess, pirate, monster, Syren, whatever I am, it doesn’t matter. You see me and somehow, no matter what…you actually love me.”
