“But that wall has long since crumbled.” Lord Ottai took her trembling hand away from her face, holding it. “It’s gone, Emeriel. It hasn’t been there for a long time. Your feelings for him returned, no matter how hard you tried to fight them. And while you were with him again, those feelings only grew stronger. You’re hurting now because you’re trying to run from what you already know to be true.”

“I haven’t even crossed the m–mountain yet, and I al–already miss him so much.” She turned, tracing the path they had walked. “It hasn’t even been a full day s–since I saw him, and all I want is to go to him. To b–be in his presence for the rest of the day.” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “How do I live without him, Lord Ottai?”

“No one can answer that question but you, dear child,” He gave her hand a comforting squeeze.

“I don’t want to live without him. I don’t want to go back to the hell of living without him again.” A choked, shaky laugh broke from her lips as she swiped at her eyes. “I thought leaving was the answer–that I wouldn’t survive if he broke my. heart again. But now that I’ve thought about it… the truth is, I cannot survive a future without him in it.”

Lord Ottai’s gaze softened, and he tilted his head. “Have you ever told him that?”

“I’m too afraid…” Emeriel looked down at her hand in his, her voice barely above a whisper. “Terrified it’ll be thrown back in my face.”

“Sometimes, the best solution is to step beyond that fear. To take a single step of courage. Because what truly hurts is not trying, but giving up.” Lord Ottai said.

“Riel.”

Emeriel’s head shot up at that deep, unmistakable voice, her breath catching painfully in her chest. Had she heard that right?

“He’s behind me, isn’t he?” she whispered shakily.

“Yes, he is.”
