Song: White Flag, Dido
Focal Character(s): Cecille, Frings
He couldn't love her. It wasn't proper. They were enemies. She wasn't worthy. She could list reason after reason after reason why he couldn't love her. It wasn't possible.
He shouldn't love her. She tried to tell him no, every way she could. That didn't matter, though, because he refused to give up. He was certain that she was the one. He was in love, and he always would be.
Deep down, she didn't want to say no. And so when their marriage became a symbol of peace, not an act of treason, she could hardly believe it enough to give her emphatic yes.
And then he was gone. Just. Like. That.
She was a widow before she ever married. Because in the end, she, too refused to give up. He was gone, but she was in love, and she always would be.
