Quote by Hannah E. Carey

“Do you ever wish things could be different?" she asked, fidgeting with her reins. His heart began to race, a jolt passing through his body as part of him longed to cling to the few shreds of hope he had left. "Sometimes. Do you ever wish that?" "I feel like I find myself wishing for it far too often lately," she said, her voice so soft that he had to strain to hear it.”

Every time he entertained the thought, he went back to the conversation with Idris before the older man had left for Vara. Idris had ardently argued that if he could win the loyalty of his daughter, it would be certain to change the tide of the war. Conor glanced back at her, noticing the fear in her blue eyes--- eyes that reminded him of Idris. "No," he quietly said before exiting the room, the door banging shut behind him.”
