The last thing I want to do is hurt him. Goddess knows how long I’ve waited for someone to declare his heart to me. But it wouldn’t be fair to him if I didn’t tell him the truth. He’s too endearing and completely unaffected, unlike any other fae in this whole damn palace. There are no pretenses with him, and I like that. He wears his heart on his sleeve and says what he means, just like me. And the fact that he looks at me like he wants to keep me forever makes me want to keep him, too. Questioning insta-love? Psh. I invented that shit.
