Will you ever let me go, Estin?” she asked eventually…
““Will you ever let me go, Estin?” she asked eventually. Estin snorted and closed the book. “I let you go a little every time you mention his name. I let you go every time you left because of him. Even now, you won’t be near me because of him. I have let you go as much as I am able while I draw breath. I will never push you...but if you want me to leave you completely alone, please send me away. If I’m with you…I am who I am, Feanne.””
