Summary
“Archeron,” he says, when he’s close enough to count each individual hair in the fan of dark lashes. She goes still in that particular, feline way, gaze lifting to his like it’s unspooling from a reel. The slow recognition in her eyes does something ugly and sweet to him.
“Hello Cassian,” she says, dry.
“You look—” He stops. Beautiful is a word that feels to intimate. Too much like everything they’re not. “—like you’re on the hunt.”
“I could say the same about you.” Her mouth tips.
The music makes the floor vibrate under his boots. He’s aware of his hand—of the ring. Of his entire body thrumming. “Can I buy your next one?”
“You can,” she says, considering him over the rim of her glass, “but I may refuse to drink it.”
“Sounds a bit bratty, Nesta.”
She hums. “What ever will you do about that?”
____
When Cassian lets his family convince him that Nesta isn’t the right woman for him, he marries his safe choice. But cutting Nesta out of his life proves more difficult than he thought.
Nesta promised herself she’d never become that woman. But letting go of the love of her life appears to be impossible. Until she meets someone with auburn hair and amber eyes.
