Elena's POV

Cassian came looking for me many more times after that.

He no longer looked down on people the way he had when his memory first came back, and he no longer brought a crowd of attendants.

Most of the time he simply waited for me on his own.

At first I told him not to come.

When that made no difference I let him do as he liked.

Things between Julian and me slowly changed.

He still came to me often about work.

But now, beyond contracts and ledgers, we ate together and visited newly open

    Elena's POVAfter that Cassian stopped turning up in front of me so often.Now and then I heard about him from other people.That the injury had never healed completely.And that his betrothal to Seraphina had been formally dissolved, which displeased the prince enough that he was considering choosing a new heir.It reached my ears and passed straight through.A few months later Julian proposed.In the yard behind our house.My father had known for ages and was hiding behind the window watching.When Julian went down on one knee I saw the curtain twitch and nearly laughed.He took out the ring, more nervous than I had ever seen him, and asked in a trembling voice, "Elena, will you marry me?"I looked at him and said quietly, "I will."The wedding was set for spring.My father said it had been years since our family had had something to celebrate, and he ran himself ragged over it.On the day, I came out in my dress and my father was waiting outside the door.He looked at me for a long

    Elena's POVHalf a year on, I rarely heard anything about Cassian.The family business had begun to pick up.My father and I renegotiated the leases on several shops, and with the extra money we bought a farm from someone.With more to do, I was meeting a lot of people every day.That was when Julian and I got to know each other.His family had a long-standing arrangement with ours. My father and his uncle used to handle it, and now the two of us had taken it over.In the beginning we talked about almost nothing but work.As we got more comfortable he would stay for a cup of tea afterward.Sometimes my father was there too and the three of us sat around talking about nothing in particular.Julian knew I had been divorced.He never asked about Cassian, and he never asked why.Once someone brought it up in front of him and put it unkindly, and he simply dropped the contract in his hand onto the table."That isn't what we're here to discuss, is it?"The person shut up, embarrassed.He did

    Cassian's POVThe old wound flared for the first time while I was in a meeting with the Council of Elders.We were discussing territory boundaries that day.I had been working through papers for a long stretch when the strength went out of my leg.If I hadn't caught the edge of the table I would have lost my footing in front of all of them.The people beside me looked over at once."Lord Cassian?""It's nothing."I settled myself back in the chair.The meeting went on.For the next half hour my left leg stayed numb.A doctor was called in as soon as it ended.The results were not good.The wound the hunters left had never healed completely.The last accident had restored my memory, but it had also aggravated the damage from my old injury."You may lose strength intermittently."The doctor watched my face, hesitated, and said it anyway. "The headaches will also become more frequent.""How long until it heals?""That's hard to say."I frowned. "Will it affect how well I can move?"The do

    Elena's POVAfter the divorce papers went out, I didn't see Cassian for a long time.By the time the lawyer came to the house for them, I had signed everywhere I needed to.He seemed surprised at how easy it was and stood in the living room confirming my decision twice."The settlement. You're certain you're giving up all of it?""I'm certain.""Lord Cassian's figure is very generous. It would keep you and your father comfortably for the rest of your lives.""I know."He wanted to say more, and I handed him the documents."I don't take money that isn't mine."If there was no love and no future left between us, then at the very least I would protect my father's dignity and my own.He had no choice but to take the papers and go.After the door closed I stood there for a while.My father came out of the study.He didn't ask whether I was all right.He just came over and took the pen I was still gripping out of my hand."Let's eat."I nodded.I cried that night anyway.Not the way I had be
