- 17.
I heard that in the dungeon, Bethany got
Ethan angry and he bit her.
She smiled.
“You can’t beat me!”
Jake was happy when he held our daughter.
“Thank you, If you weren’t here, I wouldn’t be
able to love!”
I didn’t look at him.
The potion?
I was so selfish.
So, I stopped making the soup.
I packed my stuff to leave.
Jake stopped me.
I thought he would be angry.
“I am sorry. I am not good. You have to do
this, so
me back!”
Jake hugged me, sounding sad.

“You had sex with me and then you just want
to leave?”
What?
He sounded soft.
“You”
I didn’t know what to say.
Jake grabbed my shoulders and looked into
my eyes.
“Do you really think that there is a love
potion?”
“I was scared. That’s why I tried to push you
away.”
“The old Grandma isn’t the kind one. When I
was little, they had a plan to take me up the
mountain and kill us. If she hadn’t saved us,
we would be dead. Mom would have hurt me
and it would have been her fault.”
“So you loved me?”
“Before, you would fix my face, and that’s
when I started to like you!”
“You didn’t ask me for stuff, you gave me
soups, and then I started to cry, If you haven’t
done this, I don’t know, I wouldn’t be able to
do this.”
“I am smart. I can tell who’s good to me, and
who wasn’t.‘
“Were you just faking it so I wouldn’t be
afraid?”
I had a few words for him.
“Hush, now you know how much that I knew about you and I kept it a secret, I shouldn’t be in this position right now and you know.”
I had him.
He grabbed me, and sounded soft. “I didn’t want you to feel like you weren’t happy.”
“So, I am just like, what is supposed to be, but, but it worked, is the bottom line.”

Then our daughter started to cry.
I had to go pick her up.
Jake followed me, and said, “love can’t be
made with potion, it has to happen naturally.
I’ll never leave you.”
I started to cry, and then I kissed them.
We would be happy.
Me and Jake.
With many seasons to go.
That hopefully hits the tone you were looking
for!
