“Meghan rose with the regal grace of a queen, calm and unruffled. I noticed she subtly moved in front of me when facing Ariella, a familiar gesture that caught me off guard. The Iron Queen was protecting me.”

“She turned suddenly, and before I could react, framed my face with her hands and pressed her lips to mine.
I froze, mostly in shock, but after a moment my body uncoiled and I closed my eyes, relaxing into her. I remembered this; the feel of her lips on mine,
cool and soft, the touch of her fingers on my skin. I remembered her scent, those long nights when we would lie under the cold, frozen stars,
dreaming in each other鈥檚 arms.
For a second, my body reacted instinctively. I started to pull us closer, to wrap my arms around her and return the kiss with equal passion鈥ut, then
I stopped.
I remembered this perfectly; every shining moment with Ariella was forever etched into my mind. What we鈥檇 had, what we鈥檇 shared, everything. I鈥檇
built a shrine to her in my memories, carefully tended with grief and anger and regret. I knew every inch of our relationship, the passion, the feeling
of emptiness when we weren鈥檛 together, the longing and, yes, the love. I had been in love with Ariella. I remembered what she鈥檇 meant to me once,
what I鈥檇 felt for her then鈥�
鈥nd what I didn鈥檛 feel for her now.”

“The river will take us where we need to go. To the End of the World.鈥�

“Ariella was silent, and I reached out to take her hand, squeezing as if it were a lifeline, holding me to sanity.”
