Marika. It rolled off her tongue with such elegance, like a butterfly landing on a flower.
Marika. Her dark eyes and silky hair that always covered her porcelain skin in a curtain of black had grown into the name so gracefully.
Marika. So much better than Ringer. Ringer suited her well, but not as well as the pure grace that Marika instilled in her.
Marika. It gave Cassie goose bumps when she said, or even thought about it.
Marika. It made Cassie rethink her whole outlook on the girl. The ice queen was no more, she was now someone Cassie saw as beautiful, intelligent, and compassionate.
Marika. Such sweet elegance that rang in the ears of all the heard it, especially Cassie.
So… I may or may not ship Cassie and Ringer (Marika)… I do. I'm on the Infinite Sea and holy crud does their relationship fire off from there.
I didn't give away anything other than Ringer's real name is Marika (which is a hellava awesome name)
