After Isolde left, she ran straight to the edge of the reservoir, collapsing onto the ground as tears poured from her eyes.

A broad hand gently patted her back, and a cloak was draped over her shoulders.

Isolde turned her tear–streaked face to see Garrett’s eyes filled with sorrow and pain. She wiped her tears roughly, her voice thick with emotion. “I’m fine, really, I’m fine.”

In his youth, he could endure them, but now, with age, it was constant pain in his legs and back. After the last battle, he had fallen from his horse, injuring his head and legs. His eyesight had worsened since then.

Isolde crouched down, pressing her hands on his legs, massaging gently.

Isolde shook her head. “I can’t accept this. This is the one thing I can’t accept.”
