I have killed you, Una, over and over.” Your voice dragged now like a dull blade, whetting itself against me. The tips of your thumbs pressed into my flesh. “This once, please—let me save you.”

Hen tossed his head as he broke into an eager trot. I was eager, too— how sweet it was to die, knowing someone wanted you to live.

I loved you by then, or would soon, or always had. It was inevitable, foretold: When I look up, I will see the sky; when I fight, I will win; when I meet Owen Mallory, I will love him.
