Summary
A silver coin glimmers in the moonlight as Raven tosses it up and down, staring into the well’s rainbow waters. Apple quivers, anticipating Raven’s wish — will she ask for another destiny? Apple doesn’t know if that would work, but she wouldn’t put it past Raven to try. Her hands curl into fists, perfectly manicured nails biting into the skin of her palms. Please, Raven, her mind begs. Please don’t make this even harder.
Raven stops tossing the coin. She pauses, still staring down, and Apple seems to have lost her ability to breathe. Raven does it for her, taking a shuddering breath that almost sounds like it hurts, pulling the coin close to her chest. “I wish…” she starts, and her voice is low, so quiet Apple has to really strain her ears in order to hear her. “I wish to know what happens if I don’t sign the Storybook of Legends.” She drops the coin in the well.
