But after few rips, I felt a surge of resolve. I couldn’t just sit here, drowning myself while Starlett continued to suffer alone. I’d been locked out from her for weeks now she kept our interactions brief and maintained a wall around herself. It was painfully clear she was only biding her time untid Garland arrived, fulfilling the promise she made to herself

She’d leave as soon as it was done, and nothing we could say would change her mind The realization burned, knowing that her departure was inevitable. that she was so close yet felt further away than ever.

The worst part was the distance, even now. She was physically here, back within our walls, but emotionally, she was a thousand miles away. I could see the storm of emotions in her-confusion, anger, hurt, and raw, unfiltered pain.

Her magic radiated around her, fierce and untamed, a shield of fire I could never break through. I felt hollow, aching to hold her, to offer her the comfort I’d

failed to give before, to show her the depth of my remorse. But I was denied even that.

Finally, I made up my mind. I left our apartment without a word. Maxwell was out hunting, and Clay was shut away in his room. I knew if they saw me, they’d try to stop me, remind me of the fragile truce we’d maintained, the caution we had agreed upon. But I couldn’t go on like this, watching her from a distance, feeling my heart twist every time I caught a glimpse of her.

This might be a foolish decision, and perhaps she wouldn’t even hear me out. But I knew, deep down, that it was necessary. I had to see Scarlett. I had to try, even if it was only one more time.

I figured it would have to be Lucian to try and get thru to her. they had the closest bond, but he is also the one who broke the bond with his what seemed to be heartless behavior.
