That's when I see Fara.

She's standing at the western edge of the clearing, half-emerged from the treeline. I know her the way I know most things about my family — through absence as much as presence. Saoirse's Fara. Ready to bond again for the first time since my sister died.

She's looking at me.

I don't let myself think. I just walk toward her, and she lets me approach, and when I stop a few feet away and we look at each other, my throat closes around something I have no intention of saying out loud.

I know what I was hoping. I know what I've been hoping since the day they announced Threshing, since Kaori showed her to us in Dragonkind.

Violet didn't explain it.

She was already watching Xaden.

He was on his feet before the sound of the latch had fully faded, his jaw set, his eyes on the door with the specific quality of someone who has made a decision and is moving toward it before they've finished making it.

Violet stepped into his path.

He looked down at her. The careful control was completely gone from his face — she'd genuinely never seen that look on him before, not once, not in all the months of watching him from across rooms and flight fields — and it meant, very clearly, that he was about to do something that would make absolutely everything worse than it already was.

"Let her go," she said quietly. "It's not my story to tell."

"Severn," his voice comes out rough. He exhales once, sharp, like something releasing. "You damn near gave me a heart attack."

"Xaden," I croak.

He reaches for the cup on the bedside table — ice chips, mostly melted by now — drops a straw into it, and holds it to my lips without even asking first. I drink it down greedily. It isn't cold anymore at all, but I genuinely don't care.

I drop my head back against the pillow.
