Problem Solving

KALLE

Kalle had run to the library and found six books that she thought might have something Elia was looking for. While she was walking, she'd also texted her grandmother, who was going to gather a few more things together for the dreaming—but she said she'd already found a few more options that might have something for Elia about becoming Anima—though she made no promises.

Kalle thanked her and hurried back to the suite.

She had the strangest tightness in her chest being away from Gahrye. It wasn't like other relationships she'd been in where she was infatuated and just wanted to be close to the guy. This was… this felt like when she was apart from him a piece of her was missing. As if there were a hole in her chest that only his presence and his touch could fill.

She was married. She still couldn't quite believe it. But she'd known when Gahrye made the vow, when she made her promises to him, that this was much more than a declaration.
