Chapter Fourteen

Cassius

I expected to find a way to make her immortal before we found a way to make me mortal. I had been thinking about the prospect ever since she had introduced the possibility, but I had not yet quite come to terms with it. I stared at the pages, amazed that she had been able to find something like this in the library. My throat tightened as I read the words on the page. It certainly seemed reasonable enough, and the author did not sound out of his mind.

“This is it Cassius. This could make you just like me,” Willow said. The excitement in her voice was unnerving. I stepped back, uncertainty rippling across my face. She turned to face me, her smile faltering when she realized that I wasn’t acting as enthusiastically as she was.

“Cassius,” she continued, the words falling out of her mouth, “what’s wrong?”

“It’s just that I am not sure this is for me. I thought we would find a way for you to become immortal.”

“But we agreed Cassius. We said that both options were viable.”

“I know, but still… it is a hard thing to think about when I have been so used to the idea of time being a river that never ends.”

I was always amazed by how soft her skin was, how wide and bright her eyes were, and how her heart had found me.

“Cassius, you’ve told me how painful it was to watch the other women in your life die. I’ve been thinking about that a lot, and I don’t want you to have to go through that with me. But I’ve also been thinking about the alternative and I…” she took a deep breath, “I’ve come to the decision that I don’t want to be immortal.”

“But it would mean-”

“I know what it means,” she said sharply. “And I don’t think I want that. I don’t want to reach a point where I’m almost wishing that life would end. I don’t want to feel like I’m tricking death. I want to make sure that I can enjoy moments, and if life is only given meaning because it has an end point then I want that because I do want my life to have meaning. I want to love you and grow with you, and while the thought of spending eternity with you is incredible, I also know that it would be equally amazing to grow older with
