Reverie was quiet for a moment, thinking on what Tauris had said. She thought in that moment about other conversations, many others with many different wolves. It was overwhelming. How was she to decide who was worth her time, who truly loved her, and what was good enough?
Maybe the real lesson here was that no one really knew what was best, or what path led to happiness. Maybe compromising meant that she would have to stop fighting every piece of life that wasn't perfect. Reverie took a breath and reminded herself that not every moment could be beautiful.
She decided then that she would not break herself under Lestan's dissatisfaction. Whatever he felt, it was not her responsibility. She loved him enough to stay, to try to make him happy — but on the day he told her otherwise, when it finally came, she would not break. That would be her compromise. It would be good enough until he said it was not.
I'm not sure I know what's good enough either, She confessed softly. I'm afraid he's unhappy because of me. But he hasn't said that he is. So maybe... I'll just wait until he does. And if he never does, then I guess I'll know that this is good enough.
I'll be okay either way, Reverie said, and she knew that was true, at least. I spent a long time thinking I'd never get married. Men are pretty, but a lot of work!
Watching me is like

watching a fire take your eyes from you
