After reading The dragon republic I thought I couldn't be more hurt. I was wrong. 😩

He loves her.

Of this he's certain.

He loves her laugh; that sharp, sudden sound; the cynical laugh that always comes too quick, like it's ripped out of her. He loves her
quick, confident grin. He loves her resilience, her bravery, even her impulsiveness.

She's everything he's not: unbound, reckless, free. He's never known anyone like her.

She terrifies him, and he loves her so much it hurts.
