Well, not even, even if it's not mad, it might also be like physical separation.

Like they're kind of going, you know, off in their different directions for whatever reason.

I don't know.

I feel like that's often a thing that happens where like they have to spend time apart.

We need the yearning.

So it's like, how do you kind of get the yearning in when the seeds of the romance have already been sprinkled?

I, and spoiler, spoiler, spoiler for- This is after dark.

This is after dark, but not even for Diabound.

Spoiler for Iron Flame, if you haven't got to the end of that.

And very throwback spoiler warning for Shadow Kiss of the Vampire Academy.

Because, and I'm giving you a moment to skip if we need to, that whole thing where it's like the loved one turning.

So it's like, I remember sitting in a school library and reading that Dimitri had been turned into a strigoi.

The final line, I set off to kill the man I loved.

life changing a moment please and then i had to wait for the next book exactly exactly and this now i feel like again it taps into that just joy because i feel like when you see that happen you just kind of are thrown back to all of these feelings it taps into that nostalgia that everyone has tied up with these sorts of books and so it is really fun and satisfying to see that come out again but immediately made me think of that and then which also made me think of the vampire academy reference was in iron flame with what happened at the end of that one

So I'm not going to say it just in case because I feel like that's more recent.

But then the thing is, sometimes the prince is good if his dad is like that.

Like Dorian.

That's why I thought there would be a redemption, but no.

But the king was icky.

I was confused as to why because, I mean, the direwolves and their leader seemed so powerful.
