"Being there isn't the same as belonging there." -Rigel J. Dawson.

Heaven waited for her father, who insisted he would go in her place, ignoring her wishes completely. She found out that her grandmother had already offered herself in exchange, but her grandfather only wanted her. So Heaven hoped he wouldn't accept her father's offer.
Her grandmother started to pack her clothes. "What are you doing?" Heaven asked.
"If you are going, then I am coming with you. Your grandfather doesn't want Lucian."
"No! You need to stay. Father and mother will be sad once I leave so you need to stay with them."
"They have each other. I am not letting you go alone." She said with finality.
"I don't think Lothaire will allow you to come with me."
She stopped packing and turned to her. "Lothaire didn't accept an exchange, but he told me I could come to him if I wanted too."
