Anju reached for him, and alarm bells went off in the back of his mind. She was the strongest person he knew, and for her to reach for him as though she needed help almost broke the careful control he'd constructed around his panicking thoughts.

He hurried through the forest and, for once, the trees seemed to be on his side, for he arrived in Sidhe Village much more quickly than he had anticipated. He hurried as quickly as he could without jostling her to the healer's hut, and she was whisked away, leaving Liam to pace worriedly, pausing occasionally to offer Riya a gentle pat.

Despite the healer's assurances that she would recover, Liam sat by her bedside, watching her still face, his hands clasped at his chin in silent prayer until, eventually, her eyes fluttered open. Relief was evident in his hazel eyes as he sat straighter and smiled at his former captain. "Hey," he said softly. "How are you feeling?"

Only hold the memories now
Of a love I thought I knew
Of a love I thought I knew
Liam
