Chapter Forty-Two: Tasted

“Leave? You are leaving Ketria?”

I ask, trying my best to understand the magnitude of her situation.

“Yes, father keeps sending men to harass George. Our love cannot survive here, so we leave at midnight to begin anew amongst humans; this was father’s last chance.”

Does she realise she is abandoning everything for some fleeting and stupid bond that can be broken should they try?

“I had communicated with a reporter friend of mine to camp at Midland and await a miracle, but that you came before I even left is…such a relief.”

Her face scrunches as a tear trickles down her cheek.

“Now I can beg you, on my knees if you would like, and offer any compensation you desire for dragging you into this.”

She finishes, and her entire body remains trembling as if her desperation is something only I can resolve.

Her father was careless with his words in using the phrase ‘miracle as dowery’ because this will give her case a chance when her father eventually drags her back to the council for the
Undercover Ostrich.
