Knots can be unlearned by fire. “You will be better at the next fire if you do not watch me close this one,” she said. Her eyes were water where something bright had been dropped. “Go.” I went. Halfway down, the panel stuttered. Vivian’s hands on the knots spoke love to the wood. It moved again. I reached up and caught her wrist and set Elara’s blue in my palm and she let it go because she has been practicing letting go since the day her sister didn’t come back with her secrets.

It was just Elsa might doubt, seeing Gramson. "Where is the privy I want to freshen up," Gabriel asked, pushing his hair back with his finger. Jonathan showed the way with his finger as soon as Gabriel asked. He was also thinking, about why his childhood friend still hadn't asked about it. He knew Gabriel liked to be clean and neat. As Gabriel went, Jonathan also left to complete his work after taking the clothes from Gramson. *********** "How many times have I tried the same spell, aunt, since morning, why has nothing happened still now?" Elsa frustratingly pushed the book away, glaring at the book she stood up to get out of there.

She stops dead at the sight and grins like someone caught a secret and brought it home. “They like her,” Tara says, delighted and not surprised. “They’ve been practicing knots since the playground.” “What are we looking at?” Blake asks from the threshold, he doesn’t come in until I meet his eyes. He has that look on, the one that counts windows, exits, heartbeats, and how much of me is laughing. It’s the responsible one and I love it and also want to bite it. “A night-weft,” Tara says, kneeling by Athena as if she’s greeting a tiny queen. The shadows lift to kiss her fingers and settle again. “In fae it’s called the Gloam Plait. It’s how the Umbral tell their own where the safe roads are.”

Traced the intricate knot pattern with a gaze that felt like a physical touch. "Interesting piece," he said. His voice was neutral. Conversational. Like we were discussing the weather. But his fingers hadn't moved. "Thank you." "I've seen that pattern before." He looked up. Met my eyes. Held them. "Celtic knot. It represents... binding. The intertwining of souls. The chains we choose to wear." I couldn't breathe. Couldn't think. Couldn't do anything except stare into those dark eyes and feel his fingers burning against my pulse point. He could feel it—my racing heart, my hammering pulse. He knew exactly what he was doing to me.

"Like you taught me. Except she'll start with everything you spent years learning, and she'll be terrifying by the time she's seven, and you'll spend the rest of her childhood being the thing that other people's children are frightened of." He laughs, sudden and real, and it breaks something loose in both of us. Later in the day i find Knox as he removes the decorative axes from the common room walls. I notice this on a Tuesday and don't say anything until I find him also padding the corners of the kitchen island, at which point I lean in the doorway and watch him work for a full minute before he looks up. "They're sharp corners," he says, without shame. "I'm thirteen weeks pregnant, Knox."

She untied the knot of the bra at her back and hung it on a tiny trunk of the tree. "I'll buy you a new one if that's what you're having trouble with," Gabrielle said suddenly talked behind her. She sighed in despair. She faced Gabrielle. "Even if you buy me a new one, I won't still forget the fact that you already saw my breasts!" she said while refraining from raising her voice. He crossed his arms. He looked unbothered. "I only saw your breasts. What's with the fuss?" Kathleen was amazed by what she just heard.

Gilbert said nothing, picked up the gauze, and bandaged her wound. He was not as delicate as Jensen, and the dressing would not win any aesthetic award. Especially the knot that looked like it would fall apart at any moment. Kisa reinforced the knot with her teeth and asked, "When will someone bring the clothes over? "Are you afraid Jensen will worry?"

"But perhaps you should see for yourself what your precious weapon has been up to tonight." She waves her hand, and the air above my desk shimmers like heat rising from summer pavement. The scent of magic grows stronger, making my nostrils flare. Dark energy coalesces into a viewing portal, the surface rippling like disturbed water. Through the magical window, I see a moonlit clearing surrounded by towering pines. Knox kneels in the moss, holding a ring that catches the starlight like captured fire. In his other hand, a bouquet of deep red roses trembles slightly.

A contract signed by bloodlines, not by hearts. "Mom and Aunt Aleisha already finished the preparations for the venue and food. Garden wedding at De Herrera mansion. Already sent invites to close relatives,” he boringly explained in detail while we're having dessert. "After this meal, we will proceed to settle the papers and visit mom's shop for gown fitting after." "I can do the gown fitting alone." "I'll go with you. Mom will scold me." "Scared of being scolded, huh?" I teased him, making the atmosphere less awkward between us.

I press my lips together tightly so I don’t cry out in pleasure with my own release and wait for Gideon’s knot to latch onto me. “Shit, sorry, Luna.” I barely hear Brandon as I hold my breath. Gideon is sweating like a melting man above me but no matter how long I wait, the stretch from his knot doesn’t come. I rock my exhausted hips against him in an effort to get his knot to come out but Gideon just sighs with contentment and rolls himself to the side, so we’re both laid on our backs and looking up at the ceiling. I can’t quite catch my breath; my legs seem to be stuck to the damp bedsheets. I should be completely satisfied but all I can think about is the knot that didn’t come. It terrifi
