THE MAN IN THE HANGING TREE | Gale Hawthorne

GALE HAWTHORNE X READER

»»---------------------►

"Maybe I'll be like that man in The Hanging Tree, still waiting for an answer."

---

Two souls from different worlds, never meant to be together, find love in the most unexpected of times. Gale, a boy from the lowly Seam, and you the mayor's precious daughter.

You have yet to admit such powerful feelings like these to anyone before, leaving Gale in the perpetual dance of: Does she love me? Does she not?

He hangs there like that man from the song, constantly searching and yearning for an answer from you-- the only girl he will ever live for. But will you ever answer his pleas?

Or will he be forever waiting, just like the man in the hanging tree.
