The One
Faces of women I’ve seduced breeze by like ghosts, reminding me how I always treated them as commodities, challenges.
I’m meeting Maerilee, taken aback by her brazenness and rejection. We’re kissing for the first time, our power surging together like nothing I’ve felt before. I know that she’s my One, as much as we would both like it to be untrue. I watch as she falls in love with Brook, as her bond with Akin grows, as she chooses to trust Permiton after his betrayal. And through it all, I can’t help but think, if only I’d put my pride aside, maybe she could have loved me, too.
