It's Finally Time

Seeing Planet Ptoma again made Varya's heart ache more than she was expecting it to. Memories of her and the prince could be felt in every corner, and she had to keep her eyes directed at the ground or she was certain she was going to start crying.

Anxiety had made a home in her mind once again, and she found it difficult to focus on anything else. Occasionally, she would have to take a deep breath in order to calm her nerves.
