[ even in the darkness, in the nothing of her dream, she keeps turning, trying to find him.
her heart hammers in her chest, the words difficult to even process above the thundering roar they leave in her ears. part of her swells with the faith he's placed in her, with the selflessness that lies at the center of his hope that she's moved on. how could she be wrong with him, when this was what he wished for - an escape from whatever pain having him in her life might bring her.
it could all be a lie. a continued ruse, and therein lies the rub, there lies the argument that anyone will make if she tries to tell them about this. that every word he says is calculated to make her think he's a person that he isn't, to show her exactly what she hopes to see.
but she still can't believe it, not entirely, not enough to dismiss what he's saying.
her heart sinks further when she realizes that even if he's not lying, that he's determined to find out the truth about his past, a road she'd urged him not go down. one she can't imagine will end well for him. ] Auric, please. [ she whispers the words, shaking her head. ] Please don't do this.
