Hours later, Ryon rested with a warm weight on his bare chest. Violet’s eyelashes fluttered as she slept, tickling his skin. He’d never been so content. So completely satisfied, body and soul.

After long hours spent sharing their love in the most intimate way, Violet fell into a deep sleep, but sleep had eluded him. The worries that he’d pushed aside came flooding back, and no matter how hard he tried to bury them and live in the moment—they kept bursting back to the surface.

Was he foolish to think he might pull this off? That they could save the world—that he could save Violet—and bring her home where she belonged?

Violet stirred, and her eyes popped open. “Hey,” she said groggily. “How long was I asleep?”

“Not long.” He cupped her cheek as she propped herself up on his chest.

Her nose wrinkled. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” He shook his head. “Everything.”

“I know. I wish—”

“Not yet.” Ryon pulled her close. “Let me hold you a little longer first.”

Violet chuckled. “I don’t even have the feather yet.” She wrapped her arms around his chest and squeezed. “I don’t want you to go.”

“Me either.” He held her tighter, his heart breaking as her warm tears splattered his skin. “I’ll bring you home. I swear it.”

“I know you will.” Her voice trembled, but he couldn’t mistake her certainty.

They dressed in silence, picking their discarded clothes off the floor and donning them one by one until a single article remained. Violet’s fingers quaked as she cradled her belt in her hands.

Ryon handed her the new crafting blade he’d purchased at a local shop with the chits he’d earned during training. “It’s clean.”

“Thanks.” She lifted her tear-stained face to his. “Are you ready?”

He nodded. “No. Wait.” He closed the space between them in a few sure strides. Then he dragged her into his arms. Violet’s cheeks were damp and her lips tasted of salt, but he’d never regret stealing one last kiss.

When he pulled back, they were both panting, and he had half a mind to drag her back to bed. Instead, he murmured, “Now I’m ready.”

Tears filled her eyes as Violet pulled the shining golden feather free. She winced as the blade nicked her flesh. He took the hilt when she offered it and slid it back in his belt.

Violet’s fingers trembled. She stared at the tiny pool of red growing larger in her palm but made no move to place the feather into it. “I-I… Ryon—”

He tipped up her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “You’re doing the right thing. I believe in you, Violet.”

She sucked in a shaky breath. “I’m sorry.” She dropped the feather onto her palm and whispered, “I wish Ryon would safely return to our world.” She hissed and her eyes screwed shut.

Oh no. He remembered that burning pain. When he’d made his wish for Rovan, the agony had been so intense he’d thought he’d made a terrible mistake. But when he reached out to comfort her, he couldn’t grasp her. Fast as a blink, a force greater than anything he’d ever felt ripped him away.
