Epilogue II
Milori
W e laugh and talk and eat. I am so happy to see joy return to Timas’ life. After his father died, I was afraid he would never come back from that. These past couple of months, after Emilia joined us, he found the joy that was missing.
I smile along as everyone talks, but I can’t ignore the longing I have to find what Timas has found and what Garrick has found, despite his stubborn and ridiculous attitude of finding his soul bond. He’s an idiot for keeping so far away from her.
But me… I wonder if I ever will find my spirit bond. I wonder if I am too broken to deserve such a gift. They don’t know the real Milori, and it is intentional, because I don’t want anyone to treat me differently. I spent way too much of my life trying to fit in to fail and suffer the consequences of that decision. Maybe one day I’ll go back and fix it, but not today. Today I am going to enjoy my chosen family here. Forget about the past and focus on the happiness in my family’s lives, and maybe pummel Garrick into doing something about his feelings.
One day, I will conquer my demons, but today, I guess I’m going swimming in a lake.
