Somewhere in Belavere City, Lord Tanner stalked some government parlor and my mother sat waiting in a cold cell, and I was here, unable to do what I must.
So, I did nothing. I remained here plucking at dandelion petals and hoping the correct course would present itself. I had pulled Patrick willfully into a trap without ever deciding to do so.
I was sinking, and soon, there wouldn't be a way back.

UGH HE ALWAYS KNEW HER.

I was twelve years old in a courtyard, and a furtive hand slipped vials into my pocket. You've got a mind of your own, the boy said. Don' let those fuckers take it. And then he faded from view.

"Well, you dropped your skirt in front of me once, Nina Harrow. By all means, do it again."
I whacked him, my hand glancing the back of his head
"You disappoint me," he said happily. "That deserved a closed fist, at the very least. One of these days, I'll teach you to hit me properly."

I like the pace 1 chapter 1 school year 😂
