Dakshana smiled faintly. It was perhaps the most true thing he’d said. Her mind was still spinning, trying to understand it all - that he loved her, was a shadow-creature and not a human, that she could wield all his magic and more. But what he’d said to her just then struck a chord deep within her, filled her soul with song.
“You can,” he said again, and he kissed her.
Her eyes fluttered closed, and she let him hold her, kiss her. It was like no kiss she’d ever known, slow and deep and soft like a whisper.
Heartbroken.
