She gave him a tight nod, then allowed him to lower her down until his face was lost to the dim light, their locked hands their only connection. The memory of that first night on the dam filled her mind’s eye, Keris’s grip on her the only thing keeping her from plunging to certain death. Then, he’d been her enemy, but now … “I love you,” she said. “I will always love you.” Then she let go.
Excuse me whilst I go cry a river. 😭😭😭
