Omgggg why is he breaking up with her at 88% in the book?????

I was losing interest in this book NGL but this twist is turning things around 🫡

There were nights he held me through storms, voice soft in my ear. Now he is the storm. And he’ll never hold me again.

“Is your brother a good man?” I whisper into the dark. A beat passes. “No.” His voice is hollow. “But neither am I.”

🤧🤧 you are honeyy I loved a broken man that needs to be built back up

I cradle his face in my palm. His eyes flutter shut. He covers my hand with his own, pressing it tighter to his skin, graceful fingers trailing over mine. The way he touches me—soft, almost trembling—feels like worship, like he’s terrified I’ll vanish. For one fragile heartbeat, I let myself believe this could be real.

But then his body tenses.

She’s engaged to his brother 🫣🫢

“Except he isn’t delivering her, like bartered goods to be traded. He’s safeguarding her. Like a treasure.”

FMC is a princess (katara ;)) sworn to marry the prince of the rival kingdom to help end a war. The princes brother (Zuko ;)) has to escort her and they end up going alone through the woods.

She’s a softie and is already trying to see him as a man not a monster and healed him in his sleep. 🤧 I feel like this is too early for a truce so I’m waiting for something bad to happennnn
