THE DUKE'S FORBIDDEN PROPHECY
Her words turn the deepest, messiest, maddening, brilliant person I’ve met into something forgettable - a mark left by accident.
A weight I carried slips away. What fills the space feels sharp, like ice forming under skin.
That woman holds me prisoner. Yet she puts his life at risk.
That girl won’t survive what comes next.
Her eyes lock on mine, wild and unblinking. Slowly, I allow something true to rise - no longer shattered, no hollow shell, just someone who stayed standing. Who pushed through. That quiet fire shows, maybe for the very first moment.
Fine. Lead on, then - toward the icehouse we go. Silence follows my words, but I break it again: listening will happen now
