A Shade of Dragon
“I settled on one of the two patio chairs which had been placed on either side of a small glass table. Rather than staring down at the beach below—and perhaps subconsciously begging Theon to manifest—I angled my gaze to the sky. Beggar’s Hole was no metropolis, and the beaches here were private. There was no glare of city lights to bleach the sky. An entire universe of stars splayed out above me, and down its center was painted the hazy stripe of the Milky Way. I wound my arms tighter around mys...elf and exhaled. Everything’s going to be okay, I promised myself. That’s something Dad always forgets to tell you.
A snowflake landed on my nose and melted. Another pelted my cheek and dissolved.
Unlike Dad, I yearned for this: a sense of tranquility, even stability—not the turmoil of passion, not the excitement of conflict. If I couldn’t find such solace in romance, then I would find it elsewhere.
Maybe he was right.MoreLess
