VAN

I walk out onto the same worse for wear patio I sat out on last night and pace back and forth across the cracked concrete. I’m angry, my nerves are jangled, and the cool night air does nothing to soothe me like I hoped it would. How dare Ameera come in here all these years later and throw that same old pointless argument in my face? I never understood this one contention between us, why she couldn’t accept that I’m in a position that allows me no latitude to break free. Móira owns me, and to defy her or act against her would mean I’m willing to die to do it. Call me a coward, but I’m not ready to give up on my life just yet, not when I still have a few things left to live for, like Mercer, Ethan, and even Harlow. The truth remains that she’ll always be a part of me going forward. I’ll never get her out of my head or my heart, and I’ll have to live with the agony of not being with her until my dying breath. But it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

“Van?” Harlow says behind me. I knew she was there already, knew she followed me out here. I always know where she’s at when she’s nearby, thanks to our soul bond.

I turn and give her a wan smile. I’m glad she’s out here and not Ameera.

“Are you okay?” she asks as she moves closer, her brow furrowed with worry.

I shrug and wipe my hands down my face. “Not really,” I tell her.

She gives me a mere ghost of her usual smirk. “I guess that was a dumb question, wasn’t it?”

I nod and then we just stare at each other for a long and tension fraught moment as our mutual attraction pulls at us, but neither of us move. I think she knows as much as I do that touching is a temptation best avoided if we want to keep the lust between us down to a manageable level.

“So,” she says. “You and Ameera, huh?”

I breathe out a deep sigh. “I used to think I was in love with her,” I say, then tilt my head toward her with a pointed look. “But now I know better.”

She gives me a genuine smile, the sincere warmth in her eyes hitting me right in the gut. “I didn’t think love was real, let alone a possibility for me, but I guess I know better now too.”

I smile at our implied declarations to each other. I won’t come out and say it anymore than she will. It seems insane to be feeling this way about her after only two days, but that’s how anam amháin works. Regardless of whether the two fae involved like it. If only life hadn’t conspired against me to keep me from embracing it. I’d be all in if I could, and the more I get to know her, the more painfully I’m aware of what I’m going to lose when we part ways.
