Shout out to Melpomene Lee for coming from the Merlin fandom to read these. (She's awesome!) If you've seen BBC Merlin, there is no excuse not to read her drabbles, which inspired me to start these...
Promised
October 6, 2011
Sam stormed into her room only to see the ring on her dresser. Without thinking, she threw it as hard as she could, hoping it would shatter against the walls instead of denting them to reveal the white drywall beneath.
Why?
Why did this hurt so much? Why did she care? Why did she even hope?
He didn't need her. Never would. He had Paulina. Valerie...
... Wes.
She wiped away mascara-tinted tears.
But it was his ring, and she promised to keep it for him. She went to pick it up, suddenly stopping as she read the name upside-down.
Seriously, Sam's a smart girl. I can't believe it took her so long to realize that "Wes" was actually "Sam"...
