Willow.
I couldn’t sit still. My fingers kept fidgeting with the hem of my training shirt and my mind kept darting between the now and the tomorrow that couldn’t come fast enough. The inside of my chest was buzzing, that kind of quiet and fluttering buzz that makes you feel like you’re not quite in your body anymore.
I had training like every other day and I forced myself through the drills and the spars but my focus wasn’t really there at least not completely. Every time I closed my eyes I saw her toothless smile.
Freya.
Just the name alone brought a weight to my chest that was both crushimg and warm at the same time. I didn’t know a heart could ache and sing in the same breath until I had her. I had no idea an offspring’s love could be like that cause my father doesn’t feel it.
