Donatella
The first time Legend appeared in Tella’s dreams, he looked as if he’d just
stepped out of one of the stories people told about him. As Dante, he’d
always dressed in shades as black as the rose tattooed on the back of his
hand. But tonight, as Legend, he wore a seduction-red double-breasted
tailcoat lined in gold, accented by a matching cravat, and his signature top
hat.
Shiny locks of black hair peeked out from beneath the brim of the hat,
sheltering coal-dark eyes that brightened when he looked at her. His eyes
glittered more than the twilit waters surrounding their intimate boat. This
was not the flat, cold look he’d given Tella two nights ago, right after he’d
rescued her from a deck of cards and then callously abandoned her. Tonight
he was smiling like a wicked prince, escaped from the stars, ready to spirit
her up into the heavens.
Uninvited butterflies took flight in Tella’s stomach. He was still the most
beautiful liar she’d ever seen. But Tella wasn’t about to let Legend bewitch
her the same way he had during Caraval. She smacked the top hat right off
of his pretty head, rocking the tiny vessel beneath them.
He captured the hat with ease, fingers moving so fast she’d have thought
he’d anticipated her response if he weren’t sitting across from her, near
enough for Tella to see a muscle tic along his smooth jawline. The two of
them might have been in a dream, where the twinkling sky turned murky
purple around the edges as if nightmares lurked close, but Legend was as
sharp as precise pen strokes and as vibrant as a freshly cut wound.
“I thought you’d be happier to see me,” he said.
She gave him her most vicious glare. Her hurt from the last time she’d
seen him was still too raw to hide. “You walked away—you left me on
those steps when I couldn’t even move. Jacks carried me back to the
palace.”
Legend’s lips slashed into a frown. “So you’re not going to forgive me
for that?”
“You haven’t said that you’re sorry.”
If he had, she would have forgiven him. She wanted to forgive him. She
wanted to believe Legend wasn’t all that different from Dante, and that she
was more than just a game piece he wanted to play with. She wanted to
believe he’d left her that night because he’d been scared. But rather than
looking regretful for what he’d done, he appeared irritated that she was still
angry with him.
The sky grew darker as writhing purple clouds bisected the crescent
moon, severing it into two pieces that floated across the sky like a fractured
smile.
“I had somewhere I needed to be.”
Her hopes sank at the coolness in his voice.
Around them the air turned sooty as fireworks burst above their heads,
shattering into brilliant glimmers of pomegranate red, reminding her of the
fiery display from two nights ago.
