And there it was. The thing Galinda had been trying to avoid. The pain of her heart being broken. This could not be happening. It couldn't! How could the seal do this to her?! Shaking, Galinda tried to blink back the tears that were threatening to overwhelm her but she couldn't. They were there and falling and she couldn't breathe.
"But..." Shaking her head stubbornly, the blond clutched his hands, "I'll do anything! Please! What can I do to make you be in love with me?!"
She knew this would happen. She had seen the future, so to speak, and it broke her heart. But things had been different. He had just run off. Hadn't given her a chance to prove herself! But surely if he told her what she had to do, she could make him love her again! Right? It had to work out that way. I just had to! She couldn't face this world alone.
It was futile, deep down she knew that. But she had to try. She needed love and affection. She thought she had found that with Fiyero. But he was in love with Elphie. He loved her like a sister. But he did things to her that brothers did not do to sisters. That meant he was lying, right? She was grasping at straws, but still. She needed to be able to win him back.
