Twice You
I read on one of those afternoons, Declan’s fingers tracing lazy circles on my belly.
“Like us,” he murmured.
“Like us.”
Present
I open my eyes in the stone bedroom of the castle.
Declan sleeps beside me, his hand on my waist in the same gesture from ten years ago. Claire is upstairs, grown and strong, daughter of a king and a queen who paid the full price for every day of peace they managed to steal from the world.
The memories didn’t bring regret. They brought clarity.
Harvey told me he saved me from an empty life. A lie. I had a full life—complicated, dangerous, imperfect, but absolutely real. A life I chose consciously, weighing every sacrifice.
