ELRETH
When the cave was quiet and she was alone with her parents, Elreth slumped back in the chair, rubbing her face with both hands. "I really thought he was going to challenge me," she sighed.
Her mother chuckled. "Gar's got more self-control than that."
When she looked up, her father was looking at her mother skeptically, but he only grunted.
"You handled that well, El," he said, turning back to her. The warmth of pride bloomed in her chest. She wasn't sure why her father's approval had always meant so much to her, but it always made her heart sing in a different way than anyone else's.
