Summary
Even up in Odin’s hovel, when he’d told her that he wanted her, Eivor had assumed that it was just that, a flickering flame. An exploration of that first kiss before he left Norway. A man who trusted her with everything reaching out for comfort whilst the rest of his world remained in chaos. She’d decided that nothing would change between them that following morning because it was simpler, but also because she had never truly believed that it would. Had been entirely terrified by the thought of their friendship being forged into something entirely brand new.
She still couldn’t bring herself to fully admit what he meant to her. Perhaps she couldn’t yet even voice it to herself. But she could no longer allow him to continue to believe that he was little more than a flickering flame either.
-------
Or in a world where the Snotinghamscire arc is completed much earlier in the story, Eivor and Vili realise that they are so much more than best friends. As they fight and write their saga together, all that remains is for them to admit what they truly mean to each other.
