"What do you mean, you're leaving?" Derek asks, brow furrowing.

"I mean just that," she answers, taking a step closer to him. "I'm not cutting it here."

"You're being too hard on yourself. Professor Caygen says you're one of the most promising diviners in our class."

"Oh yay, so I'll just sit here reading tea leaves until I'm old and gray?"

"You'll pass the rest, Alexis," he reaches out to put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You just need to-"

"Don't you cresting say it," she snaps angrily, cutting him off, and then continuing sing-song. "You just need to focus, Alexis. You're not reaching your potential. I've heard it my whole life."

"But maybe there's some truth to it. You're so smart."

"It's harder for some of us than for you, okay?" she pushes his hand away and turns her back to him. "My parents weren't wizards. I didn't grow up with a wand in my crib."

"Alexis, maybe it doesn't matter if you pass or not," he says, his voice growing softer.

"Right. Who cares? You can all graduate and leave me."

"No, I mean," he clears his throat.

Her eyes go wide when she turns back to face him, seeing him holding a sparkling pendant in his hand. She opens her mouth to speak, but no words come out.

"Be my bride, Alexis," he breaks the silence. "You won't be a full Sorceress, but it's close enough to not really matter. And then you can learn at your pace and in your way."

The path stretches out so clearly before her in her mind. As the wife of a full Wizard, she'd be permitted to continue studying. With his family's resources, it would be almost like being here at the Academy.

Almost like being here at the Academy...

"I'm sorry. I can't."

This is part two of a Commission for that is actually a much-needed addition to my Main Storyline.

I will have to do a read-through of the whole thing to see exactly where it will go, but this will be slotted in somewhere after Team Ups and before Crash Site I think.
