Summary
When Sunday arrives on Aventurine's doorstep - looking a bit worse for wear after having made the trek from the depths of the Family Estate to the Reverie - he's reluctant to allow him inside.
And understandably so.
The gambler is still reeling from having just been restored as a Stoneheart, his shattered Cornerstone mended and heavy in his pocket. One could certainly understand the drawbacks to harboring a wanted fugitive as high-profile as that of the disgraced Oak Family Head after such a grueling day.
However, matters of the heart are - regrettably - as fickle as they are tedious. The pair soon find themselves in a delicate dance around what took place between them in that cold, dark cell two weeks prior as Sunday's stay only seems to lengthen indefinitely with each passing day. Tensions bubble, feelings bloom, and the pair come to realize two different things about themselves:
Sunday is pathetically easy to woo in the face of his recent defeat, and Aventurine comes to care far too quickly for things that are out of his reach.
