Summary
Elphaba Thropp had every intention of marrying Glinda Upland. The cost of love seemed worth it, until it wasn’t, and she left in the night. Now, a decade later, Glinda—fashion icon, celebrity, and future political figure—is caught in a scandal that the lover who left her has unique insights into. Glinda seeks sanctuary for herself and her beloved, fragile son. The stage is set for an unlikely reunion, an unadulterated mixture of love and loss.''
"He is your namesake or at least the most acceptable Uplander variation that I could bring to the notion; there are tributes to great grandparents in his middle names, but you were the first." Glinda says, a shine of tears in her eyes.
Glinda still has enough to avoid letting the tears touch Elphaba's skin, mindful of the skin sensitivities.
"I am not certain that he deserves the weight of such a legacy, nor to I deserve such an honour." Elphaba doesn't bother to hide the tremble in her voice.
"If I was going to experience unexpected parenthood to a boy who will need my support in different ways, then why shouldn't I acknowledge the person who left such a handprint on my heart?" Glinda asks, genuine curiosity in her voice.
