Thankfully it seemed he had not committed an unforgivable sin in Amalia's eyes and it appeared that she calmed down and tried to move on, so he did too.

It was simply irreversible, like losing a limb: no amount of love and hope would replace it. "Was he willing to come with you to Safrin? Most of them are ardently loyal to their Goddess, aren't they?"

The best of you, Honey, belongs to me
