The Green's Hill Novellas (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
He’d felt Charlie’s remorse, a single bloody shaft right to his chest, but he showed up for Litha anyway. The sullen young man Charlie brought with him and left at the gap in the graffiti wall looked as though he would rather Whim hadn’t, but Whim was too heartsore to care. “I’m sorry, Whim,” Charlie said, walking the rest of the way across the clearing. He wasn’t running and jumping into Whim’s arms, and that hurt too. Whim looked up to where the boy sat. Dark blond hair, maybe, and probably hazel eyes. Whim didn’t care. He was the boy who would take Whim’s boy away from him, and Whim didn’t care what he looked like. “You’re not coming,” he said back. “Ever.” “It’s not forever!” Charlie burst out, and then he looked hurriedly behind him and grabbed Whim’s hand, pulling him into the trees, dropping his voice. “Me and Daniel, it’s not forever, Whim. It’s not you and me. It never was. It was never supposed to be.” “Then why?” The terrible shaft of betrayal seemed to ache where it landed.
