I missed King’s Hollow. I missed when things were simple, but mostly I missed a time that didn’t even exist. A place where all of the people I loved were safe, where we weren’t at war with each other or a false king, and where my best friend was as fiercely in love with me as I was with him. Yeah, I was selfish. I should have wished that none of this had ever happened between Cal and I, that we’d stayed friends and never muddied the water of that friendship. But there was no denying the truth that if the moon and stars offered me one, unconditional wish, it would always be him.
