You were always drawn to history, burying your head in books and studying artifacts in museums.

You want to understand, to extract the truth from all these mysteries and lay them to rest (can't let them haunt you anymore than you've already been haunted).

And for all that time learning myths and looking at exhumed remains, you're at loss. Here is the power made flesh and blood and bone. Standing before you with a smile that never fails to make your heart flutter, joy bursting through every part of you. By no means ordinary (you knew they were magical, but you didn't think it'd be like this.)

It's ( this love's ) nothing you've known before yet exactly the same terrifying, exhilirating thrill that sings through you at each time you discover something new -- except you knew, didn't you?

You always knew the truth: you love Rowan.

And you always will.
