The next morning, well before dawn, Tella decided to pay Jacks a visit. She quickly put on a blood red gown (which later proved to be a bad idea) and slipped out of the palace.
Tella made sure that she hurried on her way to where Jacks lived. The wedding wasn't until the evening, but she was the Maid of Honor and would take a lot of time to get ready.
Tella could still vividly see the dream she had had the night before. She had been trapped inside the cursed Deck of Destiny again, but this time, instead of Legend saving her, it was Jacks. She'd have found it terribly romantic if Jacks hadn't made himself look so desperate.
Tella was just then approaching Jacks's den. She reached for the heart-shaped knocker, but a sudden thought stopped her.
I know I've been wanting him to love me, but I don't love him. I can't love him.
She ignored the thought and picked up the knocker. She made it halfway, then just as suddenly, she silently put it down back on the door. Tella couldn't do it. She had no clue what was going to happen, and she had to leave.
