A Beautiful Moment

ROYCE.

My heart is racing as I hear their footsteps approach. I’d recognise Mom’s heartbeat anywhere… and right now it’s racing as she steps inside the office that I’m waiting in.

She doesn’t know that today I haven’t just brought myself to her, but someone else too.

“Royce,” her voice is thick as she fights her emotions.

I knew Skyla before I started at the academy. I know it’s no excuse, but when I learned she’d be my student, I did try to stay away from her. Until she was almost killed, and I realised I couldn’t.
