The dragon chuckles. “How like a fae you sound! We all know a truth omitted will sting just the same as any falsehood.” She lowers her head, bringing her face down to the level of mine. “I see the truth of your rotten little soul. She’ll never be yours, elfkin. You’ve offered your heart, but even if she accepts it, she’ll throw it back in your miserable face the moment she learns of your falsehood.”
