Summary
They had started this, knowing it could never end well. And how could it? There was no such thing as happy endings for her – not for a Black. Because that´s what she was. She´d been proud of it for most of her life, but more and more it felt like curse rather than a blessing. Yes, that´s what it was – a curse. A curse that even true love´s kiss could not break. She´d spent her whole life trying to be perfect, striving to meet her family´s expectations. And she had. She had been the grand jewel in her family´s crown, a heavy crown under whose weight she seemed to fall. And in these moments it had been Alice that had helped her up, whose hand had reached for her, who had been the one that saved her. But in the end, it had always been clear that she had to let go of the hand, so that she wouldn't drag her down with her.
Note
The story begins with a conversation between Alice and Narcissa. Oh only if they knew it would be their last.
