Bound By The Sleepers Harp – Melissa Mitchell (1)

I was going to marry this girl, and then perhaps eventually, tell her what I was—or not. I truly didn’t mind if she never knew.

Sara wasn’t the kind of girl to forsake her family, her life. But all the daydreams I had, the promises, us owning our own farm, raising a family together—” He huffed. “We agreed to meet just after midnight that night, behind the blacksmith’s forge. I was to get a couple of horses, pack up as much as we’d need to move a few towns over and resettle.” “Oh, Bastian,” Eleanor whispered, blanching. He swallowed. “I agonized all evening, packing and unpacking, just to make sure I got it right.

I lived by myself at the time. Though I was young, I wasn’t young enough to cling to my parents.
