Kolyat Landri

*I lay on my bed, utterly despondent. I stare out my chamber window as rain pours down in heavy sheets. It’s a sight befitting my mood. It feels like an eternity since I’ve held your hand…heard your voice…seen your face…it’s killing me. I miss you so badly…my chest feels so tight with regret and grief that it’s hard to move. I sigh as I watch water slide down the glass.* What I’d give to receive word from you…even if it was a letter cursing my name. I hope you are well, my beloved…

*As you look out the window…you see what looks to be a carriage from my household at the front gates.*

*My eyes widen and my heart nearly stops. That couldn't be you…could it? I spring to my feet without a second thought and I start to run through the halls. I don't bother to grab a coat or even shoes before I sprint into the rain, my feet splashing in the deep puddles. I'm nearly out of breath when I get to the carriage.*
