it didn't make sense. but it did, and she deserved it. for a moment, she did not move, but it was far more than a moment when finally she shifted, gaze moving to find the man that had long since receded to nothing, somewhere on the plains. she understood, then, that she had finally broken what couldn't be fixed. perhaps she was more like her father than she'd know.
