Ophelia P.O.V.
There he is, my mate, hiding in the background of it all? Why is he hiding from me? Has he given up on me? My tears of happiness quickly began to have a sense of sorrow behind them. I made sure to blink fast enough that hopefully nobody could tell that my mood was dampened.
I took and step closer to him, we locked eyes and never once let them wander, the closer we got the more anxious I got. I'm not marked yet, what if he's here to officially reject me and end his constant torture? Before I could overthink too much more his voice filled my ears with the most pleasant sound I've ever heard.
"Boy...how I've missed you Ophelia..." He smiled at me but even I could tell that it was pained. He was suffering and I couldn't stand to see him like this.
"I'm so sor-,"
