Damian.
The moment I walked into the room and saw Ivy awake, I was blown away. I didn’t think it would ever be possible, and I had slowly started to lose hope, but the moment I heard her voice through my mind, I knew it couldn’t be real.
How many times had I actually contemplated hearing her?
More than I can count, that’s for sure.
For a moment I thought I was losing my mind, but when Talon and Hale took off running up the stairs, I knew it must have been real and the possibility had made my heart soar.
I thanked the gods for bringing her back to me, but I just prayed it would be forever this time. I couldn’t survive losing her again.
A few days had passed since then, and with every moment she was awake, I slowly found myself going better and better. I didn’t feel hollow and empty anymore. I didn’t feel like I was the reason she was gone.
Instead, we spent every moment together as if nothing had ever happened.
As if the war and everything else had only been a dream.
