2020, January 11th (Sartis Est) As she changed into dress after dress, seeking his approval for tonight, Aaron's thoughts went to how differently it had gone the last time he had seen her in multiple dresses on the same day. Would they ever reach that place again? “So? This one?” Aria asked. Aaron got up and went to her. “You look absolutely gorgeous in all of them, like you always do in anything you wear,” he said. He knew he shouldn't touch. Heaven knew how she would react, but damn if he didn't want to, if he didn't really, really want to. “You're absolutely useless,” she chided. Aria had put it off long enough. It was time. She reached for the necklace around her neck with unsteady hands. He was still watching her struggle, feeling powerless to help her. She needed more than he was giving her. Aria needed him to put his feelings aside and just be him. So

She gave him a little smile. The second time really was just right. Aria was glad that Aaron got to meet Ethan, even if they couldn't stand each other. When they fought over her, she felt the affection behind it. Those moments were precious to her now. Even Ethan would have been at peace with her choice, with the incredible man Aaron had become. “Even when I did see Ethan, I didn't care that your brother couldn't stand me. Because it was you, Adele. The woman with the flames down her back. The woman who took things from me I didn't know I could give just by dancing with me. Just by being with me, you made me better. Helped me heal, want more, want to be more, want to be awake, alive for your love, want to spend forever wrapped up in it. Say I can spend forever taking up all the passionate love in you, Adele. Let me be your king, be my queen, like I decided you had to be within days of meeting you again.” She wouldn't be human if she didn't give him bac

2020, January 11th “You know it’s not that simple, Troy. The House of Dormer worked really hard to give you this shot to take Warlanda. You know Madz won’t just let you leave,” said Nathan, backing Emily and Troy back into the chapel. He had neither the patience nor the time for this shit. Troy walked right up to Nathan, took his hand and the gun he held in it, and pressed the muzzle up to his forehead. “Are you ready to kill me, Nathan? Are you ready to die? Because one of those two things is going to happen tonight if you don’t get the fuck out of my way.” He’d made promises, told her he would come for her and Troy would be damned if he wasn’t doing at least this much for her. There was no point to any of it without her, anyway. He didn’t care if he lived or died as long as he could save her, as long as Dean died. Emily lifted her dress and pulled the gun strapped to her thigh. Nathan’s eyes traveled up

“Is that supposed to scare me? I’ve looked into his eyes, seen all the shit you’ve put him through. His eyes are much more terrifying than yours. But you know that, don’t you? You know he’s better than you in every way.” This time, Kate punched Aria in the stomach. “Again, why is she still alive? Why can’t I at least off the kid?” "Kids are a no go for me," said Nathan as he brought Ethan into the room. Aria didn’t give a shit about Dean and what his plans were for her, because as it was, he’d already taken her family from her twice. If she was going to die here today, she wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of getting to her. But he didn’t just have her, he had Ethan, too. Hot terror tore through her. “Stay the hell away from him!” she snapped, pulling hard against the men restraining her again. Dean looked her in the eye as he slapped a pair of cuffs on her, saw the fear mix with t

2020, February, 14th Had she noticed that he went a little nuts when she left the bed without him? That his mind went right back to the night that she and Ethan were taken from him? Because he knew she was already awake, had been for a while, but she didn't try to move, stayed perfectly still in his arms. Troy appreciated these little kindnesses, but how long could they live like this? She didn't look unhappy. In fact Aria had told him a million times now that her home was with him and Ethan, not in a castle, not in Sartis Est or Warlanda, not anywhere but in his arms. He wasn't the same though. Troy didn't know if he could make the woman he loved happy anymore. They hadn't laughed together since Dean died. Her ministers were finally falling in line since his coronation and the official announcement of their engagement, but the deadline for them presenting themselves in Sartis Est as husband and wife was coming up. Her rigid country still demanded he b
