Chapter 11:King Magnus and Madame Grosse Cory awoke to a sea of deep blue and vibrant gold. The colours danced before her weary eyes twisting around each other forming a kaleidoscope image. She watched the images sparkle. She was in a room where everything sparkled. It took her several minutes to piece the fragments of her memories together. 

Chapter 13: The Farewell There was a silence so heavy Cory felt it pressing down on her resolve. She almost wanted to beg Hayden to stay the night now but she fought the urge as that would ruin her plan. Her heart swelled. She was so moved by his gesture. He meant to care for her no matter what, even after death if need be. She waited hoping he would say yes and hold her tonight and also needing him to say no and leave her be.“I want that,” murmured Hayden into her hair. He inhaled her scent deeply and held her close.“I want that more than anything,” he said, chuckling sadly.He pressed his forehead to hers, their noses brushing. He locked eyes with her.“But I don’t want you feeling like you owe me affection in exchange for any of this,” he said, gesturing towards the deed.“I don’t,” she said
