I think dream me got saved by the stupidly handsome dark prince of the night court.
I'd made a deal with him, to stay with him one week of every month. It was the payment for him saving my life.
Only he didn't come to collect until I started freaking out walking down the aisle of my wedding.
Tamlin and everyone kept telling me I was just there to make heirs, preserve the bloodline, and we both have nightmares but he never comforted me or let me help him.
But Rhysand just showed up. Like he somehow knew.
Whisked me away and ...the night court wasn't this horrid place of nightmares, but a beautiful building atop a mountain. And his torture for me was for me to learn to read. That was it. That was all he asked of me.
