“I never left.” A shake of his head. “And yet, I felt the absence of you all the same.”
So I spin her in the moonlight. Smile when she laughs at my expense. And let her step on my toes.
I smile for her, only her, always her.
“Don’t look at me like that,” she breathes. My lips twitch. “This is the only way I’ve ever looked at you, darling.”
You think I would not beg to run away with you? My duty may be to the king, but my heart, Pae, is wherever you are. It is in the palm of your hands, the pad of your thumb. So if you leave, I will follow. If you stay, I will bow. Because there has never been a moment when you did not own the only piece of me that mattered—loving you made me matter. And I ache to be full again.

“Paedyn, I love you. Like nothing else before, I love you. And I’ve been waiting to tell you since I realized your eyes are my favorite color and your freckles the only constellation worth looking at. I could lie—say that you’ve stolen my every thought and heartbeat like the thief you are, but all of me was already yours. Pae, you are my inevitable.”
“At the end of a blade, I would love you. Until it pierced my throat, I would say ‘yes’ to you.”
