Stunned, hurt, and on the
verge of tears, Josie stared at the spot where the King had just been
standing. She had known it was
impossible—that she could never stay in the Interior, and that he would never
cross over. Neither of them would have
dared ask the other to make such a huge sacrifice. But at the same time she’d told herself that,
although they couldn't truly be together, she would at least be able to see him
sometimes. That he would just completely
disappear from her life—she hadn't considered that possibility for a
moment. Not after everything they’d been
through together. His impersonal thanks
on behalf of his people…she never would have believed it would end like that.
And yet it had.
