    Summary

    “I want to be selfish,” Hilda mumbles as they finally separate, breathing the words into Marianne’s parted mouth. “I used to have you all to myself, you know? Now you’re always running off, playing nice with strangers.”

    “You still have me,” Marianne whispers back, trembling in Hilda’s grasp. “In all the ways that matter.”

    After five years apart, separated by unforgiving time in a brutal warscape, Hilda isn't sure what to make of this new, much bolder Marianne.
