Lachie set him down and raised a brow to Phoebe, who simply scoffed.
'He's sulking. He dinnae like to win. Nothin' to complain about.'
He smacked her backside, scowling. 'Leave me be, woman.'
She smacked him back, eyes afire as she kissed him, tail wrapping about his thigh.
'Never.'

JAY, YOU MAGNIFICENT, BRILLIANT BASTARD 🥹🥹🥹🥹🖤🖤🖤🖤

His and mine both, Jay 😭

And though you cleave to bonds of fealty and famille, it's only rote and ritual. Remembered, not real.
You forget what it is to love. You forget what it is to trust. You forget what it is to close your eyes and let yourself fall and believe those who care for you will catch you.'

Lachie turned back then, meeting my eyes. Voss's words ringing now in my mind.
"I tell thee truly, boy, this night, afore the cock crows, thee and thy beloved shalt forsake thy brother dear.

Yup. Still here. Still having my heart broken.

'Use it wisely, Marquis.'
He turned back then, blue eyes narrowed.
'I beg your pardon?
'The forever Gabriel gave you. Use it wisely?'

Even my stress levels are stressing me 😭

Oh Jay... Oh Jay, you didn't.

Oh great great great. Things have started going hell-side. GREAT. Not stressing the tiniest bit.

'"You're a coward, Reyne á Maergenn," Dior hissed. "A coward and a fucking liar."

The! Absolute! ANGST! 😭
