Chapter Text
To Gaile and Niccs
And to those who believe in
Fate and taking chances.
…Could you be the one so we'd equal two?
And this is all based on a lucky chance
That you would rather add then subtract…
Prologue
The sunset was beautiful today.
The skies were filled with colors coming from the sun—pink, violet, and blue. Music filled the air; waves crashed in the sea. I walked around hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
Nothing.
I wadded through a sea of people watching the twilight.
The sound of heels clicking on pavement. The smell of salt in the breeze. The sting of tears in my eyes. The echoing in my head.
"If you would allow me to court you, then meet me in the caldera tonight at 8:00 pm."
Why? I thought.
It was already 9:51; I was at the most romantic place in the country and I was alone.
I expected this night to be vibrant and filled with surprises, instead I ended up crying on a wall with a broken heart.
