"Did you miss me Dav?" Davina felt her chest go tight as Daemon approached her. 

"Go away Daemon." Davina whimpered, she couldnt handle him right now. Criston and ALicent turned back to her at Daemon's voice.

"Can't he just leave her alone?" Alicent questioned as they followed his voice. 

"You want to go down the beaches, find a cozy spot-" Daemon when on.

"Go. Away." Davina begged.

"Dont be like that, we were interrupted earlier, I want you. As it should have been." 

"It never should have been." Davina corrected through sobs. "You dont even care that I loved Harwin and that he is gone and my heart..." she pounded a fist against her chest. "My heart hurts without him." 

"He wasnt your great love." Daemon corrected. 

"What if he was?" Davina countered. "What if that was it? What if he was my person and... now we never... and I just..." She whimpered out. Daemon kissed her and Davina didnt have the strength to fight him. He pulled back her face still in his hands and saw something he hadnt seen before in his sister. 

The light in her eyes was gone, she seemed a shell of herself now that he stood this close. 

"Dav, let me piece you back together." Daemon begged. 

"If only it were that simple." Davina rasped as she took a step back. "Because I've caught myself wishing that I could forget all the horrible things you've done... to me, to Viserys..." she pursed her lips tasting her never ending tears. "But I can't forget."

"Would you like me to escort the prince out?" Criston offered.

"Yes." Davina agreed through a quivering lip. 

"I could make you happy." Daemon declared. 

"I was happy." Davina corrected as ALicent grabbed her hand.  "I had been happy and I don't want you here. I don't want you at the capital. I don't want you near my children." Davina begged. "You bewitched me long ago and I broke the spell." Davina admitted not catching her breath she kept going breathlessly but she had to spit it out. "I was so happy, I was so in love with Harwin I loved him so much. I love my children. I don't want you. I don't need you."

"Lies." Daemon hissed taking a step closer. 

Daemon gasped for breath as Criston brought a hand to his throat. Davina stared a moment longer as Daemon's eyes met hers. 

"Let him go." Davina rasped and Criston took a step back as Daemon choked for breath. 

"You still love me." Daemon declared. 

"I dont even want to know you anymore Daemon." Davina countered. Daemon reached out for her but Alicent blocked him.

''Back off, or I will shove this ring so far up your ass, you'll really have something to choke on." ALicent hissed. 

"I moved on. So should you." Davina spat marching away.

" when its real. You can't walk away." Daemon declared and Davina spun around and stared back at him feeling a wash of pain run over her. 

"YOU!" Davina shouted. "YOU WALKED AWAY!" Davina reminded him. "You kept leaving." 

"I kept coming back." Daemon corrected. 

"I wish you wouldnt." Davina seethed.

"Snug like a bug in a rug." Alicent remarked 

"Thank you." Davina whispered. "Everything seems to take a lot of energy these days."

"Of course, I'm here for you. Always." They hooked fingers and Davina stared back at their hands a moment before looking to Alicent.
