"Tyr... there's a chance the others might not come. It might just be us. We're a family. Even if that means the dynamic has to be different this time."

She took a breath.
"I've always trusted you. Been fond of you. When I was married before, no one ever asked me if it was something I wanted. Aurvandil and Thor were both good men. Good husbands, even. But... Aurvandil was not as strong as some. Thor was strong, but rarely gentle. But Tyr... you're both. And you deserve a chance to be happy."
