When did she start loving him? Probably from the moment he had stolen her away from a dance, the first time he whirled her into his arms and she set her eyes on him though she never realized it. The first time she felt something strong other than hatred for him must have been when he had made that black ring for her back at the cave after saving Caius when he had told her he loved her, and the time she started processing what those feelings meant was when she had told him to leave back at Naria, and she found herself reaching out to touch him
