There were a hundred words, burning inside her, a thousand little brittle, pathetic, impassioned truths that Eris could have tasted had he tried.

Nesta had always, her entire life, known she would marry and wished for an equal.

Wished to never, ever, be trapped again and chose instead the walls she’d allow contain her. Nesta had absorbed, in the time of a single dance, just an echo of the rage and purpose that lived in Eris.

And wanted it.

Known it, as the same brutal thing that had kept her alive.
