Elly knows Liam already has a girlfriend, but knowing and seeing are two very different things.
She feels she has accepted it, but the moment she sees his loving gaze at Irys, her heart feels pain.
Tears start to fall, painting her cheek wet.
Deep inside, she feels her heart stabbed.
She had once reached out, contacting Maria and the others to ask what had happened.
Hearing how Liam had asked them to find her first warmed her heart.
People's hearts are fickle, regardless of the species.
When they start having hearts and emotions, almost every being is the same.
Knowing that something they cannot have often only results in wanting it more.
She still remembers being carried all the way by Liam as they ran from Kaelen.
All the life-and-death moments they spent together just made her love him even more.
