“What I feel for Natasha doesn't make what I felt for Cassia less true. It's like when a Flood consumes old land to make way for the new. It doesn't mean the old land never existed. I doesn't mean no one ever danced, sang, raged, loved, on that land. While it stood, mountained and rivered, the land was good.
No that it's gone, it's not less. Just past.”
