In My Veins
Chapter Three
They were not meant to be. Their romance had not been planned, they were two odd people who fell for each other and made a very odd couple. It wasn't meant to last the year but now it had all turned to ashes despite their best efforts. They had found and comforted each other during wartime, both had suffered loss which had pulled them together.
Both of them were outcasts in their own way but to each other they had been special. They had found a little joy and happiness in being together which kept away the loneliness. Luna knew that it was over long before he did, winter was approaching and she knew their romance would not see out the end of the year. She had no choice but to move on.
He thought something was wrong between them, things just didn't feel right. She had smiled and chatted on as usual but something felt terribly wrong. They just felt different between them, he didn't understand. Things had shifted and Neville didn't know how to get things back to normal. She sighed, she had to end things. They couldn't continue as they were. It was simply pointless.
Luna took a deep breath and turned to face Neville, she knew they had good memories but it wasn't enough anymore. She had to deliver the killing blow. This love had no fairytale ending, this would simply be yet another unfulfilled love story.
