(April’s POV) We worked quietly for the rest of the day but Nír never came back. I had hoped she would but I also don’t blame her. It’s a lot to take in. And she hasn’t even gotten the whole story yet. Her reaction is one of the reasons I’ve been so hesitant to take the crown. Because I know when we do there will be plenty of naysayers and challengers to contend with and I just don’t feel up to dealing with that in my life right now. We just got back to some semblance of normal. I’d like to enjoy that for a while. Maybe that’s selfish of me, I don’t know. I just know I need this right now. Anyway, that was three days ago and I haven’t seen Nír since. I know she’s still here, I can sense her on the territory. I’ve also seen Willow at the kindergarten and playground so I’m sure Nír did
