Vennie has looked forward to this moment her entire life. A mate equals happiness, and Vennie hasn't seen much of that. But nothing good comes easy, and nothing easy is worth having. Finn is everything. Kind, funny, attentive, but unreachable. Her bond has been cursed, and the witch who cursed them is more familiar than Finn or Vennie knows. Despite watching his own parents bond catch fire, Finn believes in fate. Fate is right but she is hardly ever fair. Finn just didn't expect it to be this cruel. To have Vennie but not be able to have her fully, it stretched their bond thin, but they have to push on, they have to break this curse. Fate never chooses wrong.
