Knocton

She asked me a question I knew I couldn't answer honestly. I watched as hope spun in her eyes. I wanted to say yes, but for now I knew I wouldn't be able to see her for a very long time.

"Molly, there may be worlds between us but one day we may meet again."

"Alright then I will hold you to that. We have an action that secures a promise you can't break. Here."

I watched as she held out her pinkie finger. She grabbed mine and wrapped it around hers. I chuckled.

"What a silly truce."

"So now, you have to come back to see me. No matter where or how I am. Do you understand?"

"I understand. But I may not be back for a very long time. My kingdom needs their king through this time of mourning. I need to be a stronger king."

"I know. But come back to me someday, Knoc."

I smiled at her. I bent down and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"I will see you again, I promise."

She nodded, and I started up the ship's stairs. Oliver came running back to her side. Tears ran down her face, and my heart shattered. The doors closed, and as my ship rose in the air, she waved goodbye. And without her saying anything, I heard "I love you."
