Night after night, she sat at her desk, inscribing her tears and feelings into letters that would never reach the one for whom they were created. The hearth fire would take her secrets once more tonight, turning them to the wind to be carried off in a hazy smoke that tinted the air with its sorrowful scent.

Okay, I know this is a weird request, but because of weird coding, I'd like to request that you all read this in the "Light" setting for page color. It's up to you of course, but the coding is going to look pretty dang weird to you if you don't.
So, this was a writing challenge done in the hopes of getting my writer's block kicked to the curb. Character tags are off to avoid spoilers.... They will be added tomorrow since by then, well, the comments will no doubt have turned it into a late-arrival spoiler anyway.
(The challenge, BTW was "So, do Dilemma again, but this time, with FEEEEEEELSSS." So, if you have an issue with "feels" go take it up with my sister.)
