Summary
Brynjolf saw her face whenever he closed his eyes. Her hair, like soft strands of gold, falling in waves over her shoulders. Those eyes, green as the fields, overflowing with tears at the sting of his rejection. He’d have done anything to take that all away from her, had he not been the cause of her pain. Gods, but he wished one last time to reach out for her hand, hold it in his, warm against the weather. Strong, too, against the coming storms.
But it was not meant to be. She deserved so much more than him. He’d been bound to the darkness, and she’d always been this bright light. What could she possibly see in him? What could he ever give her that she didn’t already have? All he was capable of doing was shattering precious things. His destiny was not to build—all of that was left to her. And she would, if he did not tie her down. He would not. It was already decided. So he’d turned his shoulder to her and left her behind, not glancing back for fear of losing resolve.
