“Yea…” Nods the Bard, “‘Happily Ever After’...” Her smile fades. “Never quite figured out that part. Guess it’s not as exciting.”
Tzah-Tzie sniffs a bit as she hugs her tail close like a blanket. “ My parents weren’t happy. Not with each other, at least.” She continues with a sigh. “They’d sit together at dinners and dance a bit at balls, but at home? You’d think they were just two people passing each other on the street.”
TT scoffs. “Mum always said that marriage was love’s greatest reward.” A shiver passes through the Spinner. “And when I was betrothed to… to Vhale,” She adds, her voice cracking at her suitor’s name, “I prayed... prayed to every and any god that was listening that… that she was wrong.”
Steadying herself with another breath, TT turns her wide, watery eyes your way. “I still don’t know what love means… not really.” A half-smile creeps onto her face. “Heard the word bouncing off the wall back in my Swoos Lounge days… moaned in bed… sung in ballads…”
Tzah-Tzie bites her lip as she carefully weighs her next words. “So when you told me that back then, Ant, I got scared. So scared I couldn’t even really explain it…” Another sniff. “And you were so understanding and kind that… that I thought you understood.”
She wipes another tear off her cheek. “But I hurt you… and now I’m…” Her lip trembles as her mind catches up with her emotions. “I’m starting to realize just how deep that wound is…”
Stifling a gasping sob, Tzah-Tzie tries her best to keep her waterlogged eyes locked with yours. “I still don’t know what love is, Ant… but…”
…but?
