   Summary

   Love wasn’t enough, Elphaba needed more than that. She needed commitment, she needed dedication, and she needed understanding. So love would never be enough… but Oz, did she love Glinda.

   There was a reluctance to admit it, an instinctive desire to push it down and pretend it wasn’t so. After years of protecting her heart, Elphaba hated to admit that she had been foolish enough to give it away so completely, but she did. Now it lie shattered at Glinda’s feet, because love wasn’t enough.

   Or: While Elphaba is on the run following the events of Defying Gravity, she takes some time to reflect on her life now and whether or not love could have changed it.
