Chapter 19 – Brooding

Melanie tried to sleep that night, but she couldn't. She tossed and turned. If anything, that was the symbol of her life. They could have made a Tarot card just for it. The Restless.

The Knight of Swords rode through her mind, slashing as he went, using his shield and armour to hide his identity. Maybe it wasn't even a man at all, as Don had said from the beginning, though she got the impression it was. She wasn't sure if that was instinct or bias.

She tried to doze, but the Knight rode on. He wasn't a knight in shining armour. He was a false knight, with no chivalry or code of honour. Or maybe he had his own twisted form of one. Maybe he thought he was somehow saving his damsel in distress. Melanie was no damsel, but she felt very distressed.

Her mind wandered to her ex. She didn't like the thought of it, but The Lovers card made her go there. Stephen was a nice guy by all accounts, but he wanted to settle in a farm in the country. That wasn't the life for her at all. He dabbled in magic, after she introduced him to this other world of hers, and seemed to take a liking to it, though he never did more than dabble. She warned him about messing with stuff he wasn't ready for, or disrespecting it in the process. That was another of the reasons things just didn't work out between them. And yet, for all of that, they kept in touch. He called her weekly to catch up on things, and they met up monthly too. Eckhart called him “your ex-stalker,” and he had warned her off Stephen when they first met. She thought maybe she should have heeded his advice.
