Halcyon doesn't need any "saving". Not from monsters. Not from creeps. Not from her own self. She's a grown ass woman with a killer grin and a thriving Apothecary, and nothing about Theo Kingsley's persistent chivalry and dimples was gonna change any of that. Or at least that's what she told herself.
Equal parts fantasy and reality, with just a dash of sarcasm and a sprinkling of swearing. Stir. Let boil. Simmer. Serve hot.
