Forgive Yourself

DESI

I stumbled into way too much brightness and fell to my knees.

Leaving Helheimer, being released from my prison, left me with more worries and doubts than I could name. You’d imagine having an eternity to think, to reason through things or to figure out who I really was, would have left me ready for this new step - my first into a new life.

But now I had different worries.

No matter how much someone else loved me, wasn’t there a point at which there was no return? What right did I have to any of their forgiveness?

Like Miri.

Like Michael.

Yeah, I knew James had willingly come for me, knew Michael had something to do with getting the Hound to find me. Knew that Miri had wanted James to go, to risk his life to save mine.

But knowing all that didn’t convince my heart to worry any less.

And now I hadn’t brought James back home with me.
