Before we fell asleep, I told her the story of how Celeste and Syfi came to be. It was a sad story in itself, even with the vague ending I gave her and without the mention of the couple's tragic ending. I didn't want to tell her who the forest king and queen offered for marriage in order to replace Celeste. That would ruin the happy ending, I figured, and I didn't want to do that.
I close my eyes and lean my head against the wall, sighing. My happy ending would come when Edlyn walks away victorious from the confrontation with Anabella. That's all I need. I'll deal with whatever comes after.
