[SE] stained glass windows in my mind

Got no plans and I've got no money
Gone are the days of milk and honey

To Soh's credit, she really did try to rein in her emotions, but at the knowledge that Koa had been around and not even bothered to drop her a letter, hurt crept in to replace the feelings she thought she'd rooted out. She was glad to hear he was alive, of course, because that had crossed her mind a time or two - but there was a bitterness about his distance that she wasn't sure she wanted to get into. Not when she and Zavien were having a perfectly lovely time.

Her face softened at the mention of the accident. At least Koa had been there for his friend - when she'd been off gallivanting across the world. But she shoved that guilt aside, studying her ice cream, drawing designs in the remaining melted liquid with her spoon. "No," she said softly. It was almost mournful, and she took a shaky breath before adding, "Not since we retook the city and Tarak -" Pressing her lips together to quell any trembling, she huffed out a breath. "He sent me a letter. Back in Leafchange." Gods, had it been almost a year? How was she still this broken up over his absence? "He said he wanted to meet up, but when I replied to his letter, he just... disappeared."

Green eyes and a head of gold
I'll give you two dollars if you save my soul
