Fire and Water



Sicarra received the letter from Tarsorel, but she did not write back, fire and water. That's what they are. It was only a matter of time before they split permanently. She had no more faith in him. It was a foolish thing to put faith in any man. He found her in a lonely place, swept her off her feet, and she enjoyed being acknowledged, rather than judged. However, she is a young woman, and the young often think they know better. Until experience teaches them and brings a broader perspective. Whatever love there was between them, she now considers void. When she is deeply hurt, she burns bridges, let the old soldier die alone for all she cared. There is no more room for him in her heart. It is numb, it is cold, and he is nothing to her anymore. She burned the letter the same day she received it and she ends this chapter on a bitter note.
