Knots
If her mate is a bore she takes
her potions and a witch finds her husband. She may regret it when he
dies (and it won’t be difficult to pretend
“unexpectedly”) as he is burned to ashes
She heads for Salem to overcome “grief”
may speak against tying the knot and refuse her own knots of sadness
to be justified in death of love, never again
marry, and take a peek at the memories of his sad marriage and at last call her
brother before bed to start a new war.
