Melody of Flame (Wildsong, #2)

by Tricia O'Malley

“I don’t need you to make me feel less alone,” Sorcha shook her head. “Alone isn’t scary for someone like me. But feeling abandoned is. I’ve never had someone pick me, understand? Not really. Nobody’s put me first before. Not my family, not friends, not lovers…I’m always the afterthought. The wild one. The black sheep. The performer. The life of the party. Or…a burden. But that’s just an act, don’t you see? I wish…I wish I understood that you hadn’t truly left me. It would have made it easier.”
