  Summary

  Oh, Maker. If she thought about this a second more, she was going to be crushed, crumple against the floor where everyone could see her. She couldn’t do that to him.

   

  Even though he’s already shown himself to you.

   

  Bile. The kind that made her want to grimace, snarl, bite through the side of her cheek to keep from biting through her tongue. She needed to pull back now, behind the veil again, because this was hitting too close to the surface.

  +~+~+~+~+

  Tearstone broke them, in more ways than one. They all came back haunted. But, for Rook, she didn't have weeks to process, to grieve, to heal. It was mere moments.

  Tragic revelations and an old wound threaten to break her open when she's desperately trying to hold herself together.

  She has support. She just has to admit she needs it.
