There was only the indelible consciousness of the oath that they had taken. The lovers' oath was taken not on paper, but on fire. They had built their fortress, and its foundation was the irrevocable consciousness that they would rather have it burned to the foundations than have one of them solitary within it.

His efforts at trying to win me over when we were younger used to irritate me to no end. I hated that he never gave up. I hated that he wanted me to be his, even though I had a boyfriend. Even though he knew that I was in love with Rowan. It used to piss me off when he would start trouble with Rowan over me. I just couldn’t get why he didn’t get that I didn’t want him and would never want him. Looking back at everything now, I see how he and Ava were so alike.
